Tulsi Gabbard today: "Both sides...unwilling to come together..."

15. It's a fair question.

I think she's trying to get some crossover support for her presidental run. I think she won't last long in the race and probably knows it, but is hoping to get some press to build up her status for the future. It's way too early to get excited. It's a long road to the white house and requires tons of organization and lots of money to run an effective campaign. We won't know much until late in the year when we find out which candidates have built an effective ground game. Obama is the standard. He was the only candidate I have seen since Humphrey who had organizers on the ground even at the precinct level. You can do all the press you want, but its the party faithful you need in the primaries.I do know she will have zero support in my precinct and probably close to zero in the Congressional District. Voters usually don't go for those who have lately "seen the light".
