During Presidential races, the DNC can become more publicly overt, but as is oft-quoted from the late Tip O'Neill - "All politics is local" and that on-the-ground focus, at the state and local levels, is the way to victory for these off-year elections...

Dean's 50-state strategy already showed this works for Presidential elections too so it can definitely work for mid-years and special elections.
