It's hard to win elections when you don't have candidates "The NRCC said in late September that it would have challengers emerge in five specific top-targeted districts within a few weeks, but so far only one of those races has a nationally recruited challenger officially in the race." I feel like people keep not paying enough attention to Republican recruiting and -- especially -- fundraising woes. How much experience to Republican operatives have in running underdog campaigns at a financial disadvantage? It can't be very much.

the Dems still don't have anyone to challenge L. Dole for the Senate in NC, either.
The GOP - like Dems a dozen years ago - failed to even consider that they'd be in the minority. The arrogance of power strikes again...

State Senator Kay Hagan is in. She had bowed out in favor of State Rep. (and Afghanistan veteran) Grier Martin, who decided against running. She's not a tippy-top recruit like Mike Easley would be, but there was some crowing about Dole's evident when she decided against running since she polled better than Martin. Given Dole's incumbency, this is probably a second-tier race, but she's a credible candidate against a Republican who's only modestly popular.

ahh, excellent. good to hear.
What about Jim Neal against Dole? How's he polling?

That first sentence in Analogies and now this. You're having a bad day.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - spellcheck is not your friend.
Isn't the lack of attention paid to Republican recruitment a good thing? How could paying more attention be helpful? From a good-of-humanity point of view, I mean.

Heads in the Sand
Another demonstration of the incompetence of the Bush Administration and their Republican staffers. The Republicans failed to mentor the next generation of candidates.
Look at the number of current Democratic Congressmen who were staffers in DC versus the prospect that no one who served in the Bush White House or in the Hastert/Frist led Congress for the Republicans is ever going to be able to run for office.
Demographics changes in the U.S. were going to make the Republican Party irrelevant in the a couple of decades. The incompetence of the Republicans during the Bush Administration has just sped up the process.
If you want to see the future of politics in American, look at the mayoral election in Baltimore. There is an election today but it is irrelevant since the real election occurred a couple of months ago in the Democratic Primary.
