How to Win in Deep-Red Districts.

Run as a real fucking Democratic candidate, that's how.

Down with Tyranny:

This week, Steve Israel's, Rahm Emanuel's and Chuck Schumer's anti-progressive theory of candidate recruitment was proven wrong again. In a deep red Oklahoma legislative district once held by now-Governor Mary Fallin, right-wing Republican Chip Carter was defeated by progressive Democrat Cyndi Munson 53.7-46.3%. It's a district that hasn't been in Democratic hands in living memory. And Munson is no Republican-lite Blue Dog-type preferred as "electable" by the DCCC, DSCC and DNC. Cyndi campaigned on a platform that included LGBT equality, women's Choice and repealing a tax cut for the rich that will take effect on January 1. Carter had been endorsed by Fallin and Senators Inhofe and Lankford and had massively outspent Munson. Beltway Democratic insiders need to rethink their recruitment strategies at the DCCC and DSCC immediately and stop pushing right-wing fake Democrats like Patrick Murphy (FL) and Monica Vernon (IA). - See more at: http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/#sthash.EwzQMfUa.dpuf

If a real Democrat can win in Oklahoma, real Democrats can win in Kentucky.  The First Congressional District is open, Floridian Ed Whitfield having retired ahead of the corruption investigators.

Secretary of Agriculture Jamie Comer has already declared his candidacy, as he is facing unemployment in December after losing his gubernatorial bid to libertarian freak Matt Bevin.

Comer's a weak candidate.  He's got a closetful of rumors that stink of decomposition.  A real Democratic candidate with the courage to run a fighting campaign has a chance.

Deadline for filing for 2016 races in January 29.  Get on it.
