CDAIndependent (RE: NativeCDA: Democrats should run as Independents): Democrats could never win statewide ever again Searcher? It'll be awhile before we have another Cecil Andrus I guess. But I think Democrats can win locally with the right organization and hard work in District 4 against people like Kathy Sims who offends even many people (moderates) in her own party. Democrats have been elected in District 4 which is basically the city of Coeur d'Alene but I don't the Democratic party should waste money and resources on un-winnable races in districts 2 and 3. Those folks will vote for any warm body with and R after their name.

Question: I agree with CDAIndependent that Democrats can win legislative office in District 4 (Coeur d'Alene). But it also has to be the right Democrat -- someone well known and of the calibre of Mike Kennedy or Dan English. Also, I agree that Democrats can't win legislative office in Districts 2 (Hayden/Rathdrum) and 3 (Post Falls). Thoughts?
