I'm going to be at an event - three consecutive days - three consecutive towns . . .
As an black woman -
Where I can reach black - think the getting by black grandmother raising her grandkids or helping to raise them - in a neighborhood with a lot of crime.
She doesn't want her good kid harassed -
But she wants the drug dealer off the street corner.
Now I'm going be getting a head start in a blue state at trying to stop Clinton this weekend amongs black voters on behalf of O'Malley.
Sanders will fall behind unless his foks get out there talk to people.
That black grandmothers - doesn't have that smart phone and if she does - she doesn't have the time to hang out on snap chat and whatsapp and instagram and twitter. She's facebooking her grandson's football game.
I know (personally) women like this. They are the ones who got me in the door at this event.
This is New Jersey - even if we are last in line at the primary - it would be a tremendous sucker punch to Clinton or Sanders to have those votes go to O'Malley.
But I'm going to do it - win or lose. I'm going to try.
