Ohio, it was Sherrod Brown and there was a long gap between one and two on that list.
North Carolina, you got a few more Democrats who could have run, but Roy Cooper was far at the top of that list.
So once you got those, what was it?
It's where... I didn't like what they did in Michigan, backing Haley Stevens.
Yeah.
My general view is Chuck Schumer, the DSEC, should recruit candidates.
If they think someone's the best, Chuck Schumer's going to try to convince them to do it.
They should do that.
When there was an active primary going on and then they put their thumb on the scale...
And they take that choice away from the voters.
Now, when I first wrote this and was first upset about it, it's because the DSCC-backed candidate always won the primary.
Politics has changed so much in the last two years that that's actually become an albatross around people's necks as opposed to this huge asset.
But at the time, it was the DSCC could pick the candidate and essentially take the agency away from the voter, which is what they were trying to do in Maine.
That did not work in Maine.
And so, you know, you know that it's like it's not that the SEC and Schumer were wrong in every instance.
It's just they were wrong in this one.
The same thing happened in Michigan, where by putting the thumb on the scale for...
Haley Stevens, he elevated Abdul.
And then one of the worst things that happened to Mallory Morrow was a report, I think, in Politico or somewhere else that said Schumer would be fine with either Haley or Mallory.
So all of a sudden, Abdul got to go out and say all the time, I'm the only candidate that Chuck Schumer opposes in this race.
