REMEMBER 2006: Democrats are outraising GOP House incumbents in dozens of races: The latest 2018 fundraising numbers look bad for Republicans. The press will be playing up Dem chances from now until November, of course, but I remember in 2006 telling folks in Washington that the GOP was in trouble and being ignored. And for ordinary folks, you can do a lot more by picking a race — even if it’s not in a state or district where you live — and volunteering/donating than by tweeting or posting blog comments.
