When I was Chair, I tried my hardest to include legislative candidates into the Coordinated Campaign I ran (which was VERY targeted, btw) but only a few decided to join. Not focusing on the County elected offices is not a good plan. So, targeting on a county-wide level becomes much harder. Second, you'll see that every single candidate wants your help at the exact same moment. I sometimes felt like I was babysitting at a daycare with all the BS I listened to. Third, you can, as a party, be as offensive (meaning, playing offense) as much as you like, but if the candidate disagrees with you (as in the 2006 DA's race), then you best placate them--even if you know it's not the best thing to do.
