In reply to the discussion: Pic Of The Moment: Shutdown Day 14: Palin And Cruz Join Regrettable Tea Party Protest [View all]TBF
(33,431 posts)78. I think running a popular dem like Wendy is a good start -
and the right time to do it, especially with the GOP in the condition it's in. The thing is that there is a lot of support for Hillary here amongst labor. Even when we were organizing for Obama we were hearing "we want Hillary" - and she did win the primary against him. It's still a ways off but I think it's time to start putting a little effort into this state. The Castro twins have attracted a lot of attention as well. Unfortunately the cities can only do so much, it's the rural areas that are still holding us down.
