8. A few reasons
Mon Dec 23, 2019, 04:51 PM
Dec 2019

1. I'm a Democratic Committee Member in NJ - we've just had two back to back local and state elections. I'm exhausted.

2. We flipped a lot blue locally (Borough, County, Assembly) in 2017 and 2018 that had to be kept blue in 2019.

3. I'm hyper focused on Tom Malinowski's campaign. We've GOT to keep him in Congress.

4. Our Primary isn't until June

Last but not least - see item #1. I'm a sure thing AND a one issue voter (Federal Judges).

One more thing - I take my two year term, elected by Democratic Party members VERY seriously. I take NOTHING for granted. My local, and state government MUST remain blue. It's these efforts by local 'grunt workers' who count votes, drive the elderly to the polls, hand out hot chocolate on Halloween, etc. etc. that ensures ground up Party Support.

After super Tuesday I can pay serious attention. That's when I'll be able to see what other voters who fit my demographics are at.

It's the EARLY states' voters JOB to pay attention in detail, and GOTV in those four states.

Presidential Candidates for the Democratic Party generally don't campaign heavily in our state. They just don't. Guess what? We're kind of a sure thing!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
