The one thing that Mamdani's win can teach us is [View all]

that it is really good to run against two very bad candidates.

Just as Harris' loss last year was analyzed based on the mindset of the analysts, too many are projecting their own views an biases into last night's results. Liberals and progressives say Mamdani's win means the party needs to go more to the left. Moderates say that Sherrill and Spanberger's wins means the party needs to run more centrist candidates. Both takes are wrong.

Every election is different based on a number of factors. One of the biggest factors in location. I doubt Mamdani would have won in either Virginia or New Jersey. And not sure Sherrill and Spanberger could have won in New York City.

Plus the issues and public mood in each election is different from the last election and will be different in the next election.

The real lesson is that no party should be using a set rule book if they want to win. Every election whether for Congress or Governor or Mayor needs to be run on an individual basis with the right candidate and the right message.

Well, that's my rant for the day. Fell free to talk amongst yourselves.
