(151,879 posts)I imagine she'll keep doing those until the organization is ready to move to the next phase.
I was at a meeting last week with another campaign organization. The candidate, right now, is meeting with individuals and small groups, getting information and asking about what issues should get top priority and what strategies should be used. That information will be part of campaign planning. Right now, there's not much else going on, due to the time being so early.
Our precinct caucuses in Minnesota, the very first thing on the calendar, will be on March 1, 2016. It's the end of May, 2015 now. It's campaign planning time, not campaign launching time, really. There was some discussion of scheduling for major events, but none of those will occur until early next year. There's some fundraising going on right now, though, but not general fundraising.
Effective campaigns take a long time to plan. There won't be another meeting of the organization I mentioned for a couple more months.
