Juliana Stratton's win, like Angela Alsobrooks' victory in the 2024 Dem primary for Maryland Senate, is a reminder that one candidate amassing a giant lead in the polls long before the primary can be a mirage when the other side has the resources to go up when voters are actually paying attention.

One of my favorite discoveries while writing this was the New York Times' nondescript headline following Pelosi's first general election win: "DEMOCRAT ELECTED IN SAN FRANCISCO." Her retirement generated far different headlines!

Kevin McCarthy told Republicans this summer he wanted to raise $100 million to stop California redistricting. So far he's absolutely *nowhere* near that goal. punchbowl.news/archive/1082...

It was a true shock when Gov. Jimmy Carter used his 1971 inaugural address to proclaim, “The time for racial discrimination is over.”

030

Carter told civil rights leader Vernon Jordan during that campaign, “You won't like my campaign, but you will like my administration.” He wasn’t kidding about that campaign.

Carter took third in 1966 primary and immediately began preparing to run again in 1970. To win, though, he had to beat one of the state’s most popular politicians

Carter’s ads also helped the virtual unknown get his name out during his first statewide campaign.

The New York Times compared Jimmy Carter’s looks to JFK in 1966 as Carter was waging a long shot bid for governor. Carter wasn’t especially happy with the comparison.

120

Jimmy Carter’s career almost went in a very different direction in 1966. He was preparing to challenge his longtime personal rival, Bo Calloway, two years after Calloway became the state’s first GOP congressman since Reconstruction. But one big decision from Calloway altered American history

1962 brought huge changes to the state, and new legislative maps led Carter to seek elected office for the first time. But the district’s most powerful boss was determined to keep him out, legally or illegally.
