That's the way to go Georgia.

Last week, Georgia Democrats came through and managed to field at least one candidate to run in all thirteen congressional districts. The weekend after the fifty-state canvass, we are now on the precipice of breaking the record Republicans set in 1994 when they fielded challengers in 419 congressional districts. Now, according to the fifty-state page maintained by Barry Welsh, Democrats have also fielded candidates in 419 districts.

What's left to fill? Now much:

* Unopposed, deadline passed, no write-in campaign underway: AL-06, CA-42, MS-03, PA-09, TX-11, VA-04, VA-06

* Florida, 5/12: FL-07, FL-12, FL14

* Oklahoma, 6/7: OK-01

* Arizona, 6/14: AZ-06

* Louisiana, 8/11: LA-04, LA-05, LA-06, LA-07

That's it. We still have some rather immediate work to do in Florida, and some longer-term work to do in Louisiana, but we have basically completed this remarkable process.

This is Howard Dean's victory. From 2003 forward, the idea that Democrats needed to challenge Republicans everywhere, even if it meant fewer resources for "swing" states / seats / districts, was a direct contrast to the longstanding selective targeting strategy of the Democratic leadership. Now, the fifty-state strategy is conventional wisdom, and activists around the country have brought the idea to fruition. We are a national party again. The idea is not just a blog entry, or an online consensus anymore. It has been manifested in the real world, and I for one hope there is no going back.
