2018 Congressional Recruitment/Fundraising/Ratings Megathread

I don't see what's wrong with Matiella. She's just simply better.

Thank you. Enough with the fake democrats! Get real ones, and then maybe people will vote for them! And please centrist overlords of Atlas, don't give me your same old cliché spiel about Northam. Northam won because Virginia is a suburban RINO Tom state that is home to the MIC and Intelligence agencies and all my least favorite people! So they'll vote for any one regardless of policy, as long as they don't say mean words or punch a CNN Logo. Jones is not bad for an AL dem, and I love him to death, but he won in an extraordinary stroke of luck against a pedophile! You think the "law and order" morons who cry any time we say anything about a police officer being corrupt are gonna vote for an accused pedophile? Or presume him "innocent until proven guilty"? LOL. But anyway, it was an extraordinary circumstance. However, swing states Iowa, Wisconsin, Arizona etc. are NOT like suburban VA. They will not vote for a poor candidate like Northam, Rouda, Susie Lee, Lucas St. Clair and especially a carpetbagger like Ann Kirkpatrick or Gil Cisneros.

[Cactus Jack]

As long as Matt Heinz isn’t the nominee again, either Kirkie or Markell’s sounds fine.

I think we're all in agreement there. Heinz is the only man who could flat-out lose this district for us in a wave year.

It's so ironic how well the dems have been a recruiting yet one of the easiest hasn't been figured out yet

This is unfortunate. She could have a future but she's throwing it away for a pointless primary challenge.

[Brittain33]

On the other hand, if her challenge to Cuomo is at all viable that would be welcome.

I'm actually looking forward to the potential of a reverse-2010 this year. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[Hindsight was 2020]

So I found an article from a couple weeks ago saying the DCCC was recruiting a "top-tier" candidate for NY-24 if Miner pased (which she now did). Any upstate NYers got any guesses? I thought Miner was the big get http://www.syracuse.com/politics/index.ssf/2017/12/house_democrats_pursue_new_candidate_to_take_on_john_katko_in_2018.html

[henster]

This Green Beret Matt Reel is running in Marsha Blackburn's open seat he's a Dem so its probably hopeless but he has a really great intro video.

Purely suburban county undergoes rather standard evolution: first - from conservative Republicans to moderate one (the county was center of mostly successfull anti-Brownback challenges in Republican primaries of 2016), and then - to Democrats. Just as many Southern rural counties moved from populist to conservative Democrats, and then to Republicans, in Civil Rights era (only in reverse).

Who unretired in May?

That might have been when Marino withdrew from his appointment or when Perlmutter dropped out of CO-GOV

[136or142]

The West Virginia filing deadline is today.  Anyone have any updates?

[Heisenberg]

Who unretired in May?

That might have been when Marino withdrew from his appointment or when Perlmutter dropped out of CO-GOV

Has to be Marino, as Perlmutter is a Democrat, and the chart is about Republican-held seats.

This is probably a bit off topic, but why did you stop updating your 21st century realignment TL. I thought it was very well-written and had great presentation (especially how you presented the election results).

Worst of all...he holds the Bible high, sets it down, and then he lies

So apparently Aftab Pureval is set to make an announcement to run for OH-1 on Wednesday.
