44. The party needs Howard Dean back.

We need his 50 state strategy. I didn't vote in the April election here. Why? There weren't ANY Democrats running for office in the primary here. Which will mean that Vicki Hartzler(Teabagger) will be back in the house, all of our idiot repub state legislators will be RWNJ controlled, and since this is Nixon's last term, we'll have a RWNJ governor again.

The Democratic party needs to get their act together. Seriously!
