Democratic priority list: No top billing for Brad Ashford-Lee Terry card

9. This: "the Democratic party needs to cultivate, encourage and nurture younger candidates"

I couldn't agree more. Democrats spend no money, throw up their hands in sanctimonious defeat, wonder why the candidate then can't raise money, and then have their excuse to spend no money in the next election cycle--let alone cultivate candidates and voters in the mean time.

All of which plays quite nicely into the Republican narrative that Democrats are the party of the Northern elite.


So bravo, DCCC. Maybe you can spend a few extra million in Ohio or Pennsylvania, convincing suburban voters that you're really NOT any more liberal than the Republican you're trying to unseat. God knows that's been a winning strategy for the last 30 years.
