Peterson is probably doomed at this point. He should retire, to avoid an embarrassing defeat.

I wouldn't mind if he retires really.   Not a big deal.

It WILL be a big deal when you will compare his voting record with those of his likely successor (Republican). And if it will not - then i will doubt your political expertize..

Peterson is old and the seat is very R. If he doesnt retire/lose this year, we are very likely to lose him in 2022. Its basically on borrowed time. Losing Peterson doesnt really mean much, as the Dems still have more than enough targets/incumbents to cover that.

Disagree 101%, but - will not go into details, because it's useless in this case. And - you probaly know, thati care about Democratic party almost as little as about Republican.. I care about persons, not parties...

Even if Republicans win this seat next year it'll be a one term rental.   The district is practically doomed to be carved up in redistricting anyway.

Peterson did great to hold a seat this R for as long as he did.   There's other, better targets for the Democrats to go after than defending MN-7.  

If Peterson is gone as of Jan 2021 it's really not a big deal.

As i wrote above - i don't care about "Dems" or "Reps". I care about persons. Peterson is a non-standard person, with his own style and unique voting record. That alone makes him much more  valuable to me,  then 100 Barbara Lee's or Jim Jordan's, for example....

Matt Gaetz's Dem challenger is generating interest on liberal twitter: https://twitter.com/PhilEhr/status/1181587062715244544?s=20

This will be another KY-SEN. Where liberal activitists and resistance twitter will light money on fire on an unwinnable race for the Dems just because the incumbent Republican is more repulsive than the average Republican.

+100. District is absolutely unwinnable now, even for ultraconservative Democrat, if such would exist.

NY-22 Q4 Fundraising totals:

Anthony Brindisi (D) - $905,000 raised. $1,800,000 cash on hand

Claudia Tenney (R) - $300,000 raised. $286,000 cash on hand.
Steve Cornwell (R) - Dropped out, now running for family court judge.
George Phillips (R) - Unable to find, but he is irrelevant.
Frank Sager (R) - Same as above.

The best possible situation for Brindisi. Against anyone, but Tenney, he would probably be an underdog...
