is to determine future target markets and demographics.

Every little bit of pressure you put on lying republicans, national or local, helps curtail their greed.

If Kansas moves blue by 2 or 3 or 5 points, that's enough to scare the crap out of all future candidates.

Plus, we all need to create our own local databases for future use on issues like choice or health care or education.

People should never sit out of an election.

Way to go!
