how many were signing up. Duluth had a lot of meetings and most were full. And then I looked at the meetings being held in Two Harbors, Vermillion, etc. I got a bit scared because there were only a couple with 3-8 people signed up to go. This is in heavy Democratic areas. My own community did not even have a meeting.
So I am scared - what is going on?
Then I started thinking - my community did not have an office for Al Franken but we supported him. Those of us who wanted to volunteer went to Duluth. So the fact that some of the smaller communities were not represented on July 29 is not so surprising. I think it is the wrong approach but that is the way it is.
But what happened to the Union workers? Well maybe some of the volunteers in Duluth were Union members working on their own. Talked with my daughter, the Union member, and she reminded me that very few members do anything until their Union decides who to support. I have to tell you that does not make me feel any better.
That works when all candidates in a primary are well known but how does that work when one candidate is well known and all the rest are relatively unknown? It seems to me that means that even if my daughter is a Bernie supporter she cannot exercise her right to be involved in his campaign from the beginning. Which once again favors the leader.
