All special election races in the near term; here's to hoping that they are all contested, no matter the lean of the district

I agree. Contest everything. The GOP brand hasn't been this bad among regular voters since 1964, and the Dem brand hasn't been this bad among irregular voters since 1928. Our current coalition is optimized to overperform in special elections.

Absolutely! Democrats need to contest every race with the best-possible candidate.

ItтАЩs worth remembering that Democrats failed to contest more than a thousand (!) state legislative seats this November. That is political malpractice! (And, no, it is not a mitigating factor that Republicans left even more such races uncontested, over 1300.)
