but it s worth just, sort of, going back to brass tacks, i think, for a second. in a two-party system, each party is important, right? in a two-party system, the relative strength, the relative skill, the organizational capacity, the financial status, the size, the health and capacity of each party is at least a little bit important in every single state in the country. even in states that are dominated by one party or the other, the health and the capacity of each party matters. it s particularly crucial, of course, in swing states, though, where one party doesn t dominate and the places it s likely to be a close race between the republican nominee and the democratic nominee and the general election this fall. it is particularly important how healthy the state parties are on both sides.e and the battleground states, the swing states these days, it s at familiar list. states like arizona, georgia, pennsylvania, michigan, a few others. given all that, though, here s today s po
