While the funding would be nice I don't think a top down outfit like the DSCC (or the DCCC) has any clue how to run a race in a widespread rural area. The DCCC took over our 1st district race in '12 and they sucked. Totally top down, hired kids who knew nothing (and would demand nothing), ignored offers from lots of people, wanted only phone-banking.

These guys lost countless opportunities that would have been helpful to our lackluster candidate, it was frustrating. I could have put together a better campaign.
