So would 70 for that matter

It would be great if there was at least a Democratic candidate running in every single state.

It would be a hopeful sign towards a working majority goal if we can at least compete in most or all states. Really I'll be stoked if we get anything more than 51 and keep the house. I have a bottle of tequila saved ready for that exact occasion.
