I am not one of those progressives who thinks the Democrats should abandon the South. Why should we abandon the part of the nation that gave us Bill Clinton, Mark Warner, Jim Webb and Jimmy Carter, not to mention Ann Richards and Christine Jennings. I believe the South may be tough for us, but why should we run away from a fight? For now, Senate and NC-8 are top of my list to aim for for 2008. We nearly won NC-8 in 2006, losing by less than 400 votes. Larry Kissell, the Democrat who nearly won, has already declared for 2008. So let's get started.

And for the record, I am NOT focusing on North Carolina just because I think they have the best BBQ in the world...

NC-Sen Democratic Nominee Fund 2008

NC-Sen (Map)

Republican Elizabeth Dole now holds this seat. If we want a good shot at taking it, we need to start early. Our chances of taking it will depend on which Democrats run, with Democratic Governor Mike Easley being a possible favorite to beat Dole. Let's do to NC in 2008 what we did to Virginia in 2006: flip a Senate seat blue against all odds.

Larry Kissell

NC-08 (Map)

Larry Kissell is the Democratic Party in a nutshell: former textile worker, BA in Economics, and public school teacher, Larry Kissell nearly beat the Republican incumbent in this district in 2006 running a strictly grassroots/netroots campaign. The vote went into a recount and Kissell only lost by 329 votes out of 121,000 cast. He has already announced his intentions for a rematch and now is the time to back him up.

NC-05 Democratic Nominee Fund

NC-05 (Map)

This seat is currently held by Virginia Foxx (R) who is one of the Katrina 11, Republicans who eagerly supported no-bid contracts for Halliburton but voted against aid to Katrina victims. That alone makes it worth defeating Foxx. Contributions to this fund will be sent to the Democratic nominee upon his or her selection.

NC-11 (Map)

This is a Republican district, yet Heath Shuler, a famous football star, was able to win. This may be a close race in 2008, but I suspect that Heath can pull it off. Still, we might want to make sure Democratic voter turnout is good in this district too!
