Just some thoughts, some of which is not original thinking and a lot of it is based on conversations I had with with Hunter already.   Also, I am sure people like Mike D have more useful advice than I.

When you are thinking of helping other candidates the next 65 days I think you should only focus on races where you 1) know the candidate or 2) if they are a current AG running for reelection or something else or a veteran.   More of a reason why you are doing it and you don't run into as many questions or are accused of just building up chits.

Also, if they are Senate races, you only want to pick close races where you could make a difference and they have a good shot of winning.  The only ones I can think of off the top of my head that fit into those categories are Conway and Sestak.   Conway we discussed (and FYI, he is running the race that you probably would have run - running on his record of protecting children against online predators, etc).  Sestak is just next door (no real travel) and is a Vet.  Both are Top Tier races.

Also, I would see if maybe you want to reach out to DAGA and see if there are 2-3 races they want you to get involved in.   You may want to focus on races where the candidates are talking about your issues - again, online predators, etc.  Would help if you wanted a leadership role in DAGA down the road and perfectly legitimate for you as DE AG to want other AGs elected who can help you on those issues nationally.

There may be AGs running for Senate or Governor or Vets that I missed (you may want to also reach out to VoteVets), but if you did the above it would be productive and probably not leave you open to accusations of being out of the state too much and being too political.  

Just my random thoughts from after the call.
