Separate from the pres and high visibility races, I've been thinking a lot if Dems have a farm system that gives them a chance to compete. <br /><br />Med visibility races (e.g. county council members) are usually fed with low visibility races or someone with heavy community notoriety. <br /><br />In most of the country, the main community figure is the church, and unfortunately it usually not UU. This puts the non-religious-right at a extreme disadvantage, which are usually Dems. <br /><br />For moderate visibility races, it just seems that republicans have a candidate with a better resume. For pres it obviously wasn't the case, and I don't think that's proof for mod visibility races. <br /><br />It just seems that in deep red states, candidates opposing republicans are weak. <br /><br />Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583876339496768056noreply@blogger.com
