And I agree with you too about authenticity! Be who you are, not what you think people want you to be. BTW, she didn't win did she? Many in the MSM kept saying "oh, she needed to say this because of where she lives." Well, hope she learned a lesson. Was a great campaigner, but I would have felt a need to vote for her because of her opponent ONLY! Lost so much respect for her when she said that!

I live in FL and as much as Alan Grayson got attacked here, he had no trouble winning! Not many Democrats won in Florida, but I knew where he stood. Not my district, but I think it was once rather RED. He lost his 2nd run, but has won two times since!

Just think of ALL the R's who have been indicted, had affairs or were caught and accused of many things and got re-elected! The guy Grimm in NYC may still be going to jail, but he had no opponent and won! Not going to spend all day on here, have to get busy but I have a list of names that I can add!

And most people voted for policies that ARE Democratic issues, but voted for a Repub candidate! Time for us to take ownership of our ideas and make it known! In Richmond, CA., Chevron poured millions and millions of $$ to help some Democratic candidates, but every single one of them lost! The other Democrats won! It's a start!
