In my view, Martin is an utter failure. Lonestarblue 17 hrs ago #36

Yep, such an utter failure that Democrats have flipped around 30 seats through special Wiz Imp 17 hrs ago #37

I'm not sure that has anything to do with Martin. YodaMom2 16 hrs ago #42

Isn't that convenient. He gets no credit for winning but would get trashed for losing. Wiz Imp 16 hrs ago #50

It would be blatant pandering JustAnotherGen 16 hrs ago #46

No. I like her but she's too combative for that position. Ocelot II 18 hrs ago #15

She will likely not be in Congress next year. Happy Hoosier 17 hrs ago #25

But fighting loudly isn't the DNC's job. Fundraising and organizing is its job. Ocelot II 17 hrs ago #27

If you want to her to run as an "issue" candidate as a path to an alternative role, then lead with that. themaguffin 17 hrs ago #32

No chance as President I think. Happy Hoosier 17 hrs ago #26

She doesn't need to get the nomination WSHazel 17 hrs ago #31
