Which state party is in bigger state of decimation?

[smoltchanov]

Oregon just needs the right Republican.

You mean "not right Republican"?)))

[Vega]

I mean right, as in, right for the state.

Not right as in right wing.

Exactly. I hinted at second interpretation...

[Kraxner]

Oregon just needs the right Republican.

Chris Dudley could of been the first republican governor of Oregon since 1982 had it not been for the constitution party(aka the proto-tea party) being on the ballot.

That was 30 years ago.

[Free Bird]

Write In: Florida Democratic Party

[smoltchanov]

694,287 + 20,475 = 714,762

714,762 < 716,525


Also, it's "could have", not "could of".

And if you add Libertarians, who are mostly republican-oriented?

Sure, you can move the goalposts again.  It's all irrelevant to what actually happened anyway.

Nevertheless, Oregon can surely elect moderate Republican statewide. If Vermont almost did it this year (and with relatively weak Republican candidate) - any state can. And it could be even a good thing (i hate 1-party dominance of ANY form). The problem is with Republican party in Oregon, which keeps nominating unwinnable candidates in most races..

That's Debbie Wasserman Schultz's 0 state strategy. Make sure that the Democrats have no chance in the red states and make all the blue state races be competitive.

She's too incompetent to be part of a conspiracy.

Even the most tightly organised, powerful state parties are being unwound by the flush of easy outside money and special interest groups.

I'll say the Hawaii Republicans are less powerful, but they were never particularly powerful to begin with. The Hawaii Democrats provide enough opposition to itself than their ostensible "opposition". The Alabama Dems were quite powerful in living memory, so they were more truly decimated in recent years.

They were massively in power, just like the Democrats, up until 1954.

To show how bad things are for the Hawaii Republicans, their House Minority Leader just switched parties bringing their numbers back down to just 7 seats and canceling out their gains made in 2014.

In Hawaii it makes much more sense to be a Democrat. Just as in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, Or just as it makes sense to be a Republican in Utah, Wyoming, Idaho and (now) most of the South. Even if your ideology differs somewhat from "party norm"...

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Alabama Democrats.  The Hawaii GOP still has Lingle, Djou, and Aiona; while Alabama still has some high-profile Democrats, most of them don't seem very interested in higher office.
