you have no clue of what I'm talking about. You don't only make efforts in states where you are behind in just a couple of months before an election. But apparently your strategy is to just pile up cash and buy TV time. That's one of the biggest reasons that these things are so close to begin with. Let's take your route and keep plowing mega millions of dollars to the "consultants". You also have no idea what I'm talking about when I talk about grass roots organizing. Stop acting like the DNC doesn't have the money to pay for a can of coffee for an organizing meeting. Stop acting like it's too complicated for the DNC to figure out a strategy and efforts on a 50 state basis for every month from now until the next election. Because if they can't or won't then they shouldn't be there. I'm tired of seeing candidates at the local level trying to run as Dems and finding they can't even get a return phone call from party officials when they're just asking for public acknowledgement that they're running. Maybe we at the state and local level should take your approach and turn it around and tell the people at the national level to fix themselves and don't "bother us" or look for support until you do. I'm sure that idiot on TV would like that if the successful states gave the national leadership a cold shoulder. After all it's what you're calling for going the other way. You are just taking what has been a pull our butt out of the fire day and turned it to crap. You and that idiot on TV.
