that the Dems were intent on running a candidate in every Congressional race, and did succeed in getting the necessary number ?
I also agree that state offices need to be challenged, as well as others down ticket.

Though there were Dem candidates in OH 1 & 2, Dem. campaigns were not run. In OH-2 (my district), the Dem. nominee was a truck driver who was on the road making a living instead of campaigning. - His campaign was a farce, or non-existent. No appearances, no debates. In effect, no Dem opposition. Demoralizing.
