Hope everyone caught the article from the NYTimes outlining the Democrats’ high hopes to win Governor’s races in 2006. Remember, it’s not just about the Congress- we have to win at a local and statewide level. The more seats we win locally, the less Republicans can paint our national leaders as out of touch. If your local school board members are Democrats and do a good job- why not trust John Kerry?

From the NYTimes:

Democrats have a strong chance to pick up a number of seats held by Republicans while keeping seats even in states that President Bush won in 2004, potentially allowing Democrats to put their view of government on display across a bigger swath of the country and strengthening their position for the 2008 presidential race, party officials said.

Among the states that could flip to the Democratic column are Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Ohio, all general election battlegrounds carried by Mr. Bush, as well as New York and perhaps California.

This is good news. Let’s celebrate.
