Worked well for NH state rep. Tim Smith as well. Facebook users insisted on making donation to him. He said he did not fundraise in off years. They insisted so much he had to started fundraising much sooner than he expected.


*On edit: to HubertHeaver for correcting me on the state.

In my defense, they both have four letters and an O. (Kidding. There's no excuse whatever.)

Iowa was that place across the big river with the toll bridge. Ohio was that tiny little town about 20 miles south.

I have the classic Manhattanite's view/knowledge of the map of the US (even though I was born in NJ). It's awful, but true. I did, however, learn all the state capitals once, if that redeems me at all. I just would not be able to place all of them correctly on a map.

I occasionally do, and it really is (maybe I'm just geeky, but give it a try)

The website (poke around) http://lizardpoint.com/geography/index.php

The states. http://lizardpoint.com/geography/usa-quiz.php Start out w/labels on, then take the quizzes a few times. You will know the states in no time.

Have fun!

She would make a fantastic running mate for Bernie. She doesn't mince words and she is excellent in the way she expressed her reasons for supporting Bernie.

She will singlehandedly create Bernie supporters almost out of thin air, both white and black.
