49. I have to agree about clearing the field in certain races
Especially Louisiana. Democrats had a very good night in the Louisiana primary. If Ieyoub and the other Democrats hadn't been in the race, Blanco probably would've pulled off the election in October, and we would've had positive press coverage for a month about how Democrats had picked up a seat in the South, was this is a sign. I bet it would've mattered in Mississippi, and possibly in Kentucky.

Additionally, in Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, we should've run stronger campaigns attacking our opponents. Shannon O'Brien took a strong lead and let it evaporate. Myrth York, after two prior electoral losses should've A. Not been nominated in the first place or B. Realized that voters DESPERATELY wanted a change and run on that.
