Reply #100: we need our older folk really really bad --

[nashville_brook]

(as if i'm a youngster! ha!) after 2008, the local dem party board filled with college students hot from the presidential election...and the organization (from what I can see) is pretty much in chaos right now. the budget is a wreck, committee chairs are empty, fundraising is in shambles...and thank god for the older folks capable of speaking up who've run things in the past. the last meeting was painful. the chair yelled at the members and guests, and her strategy for winning the next election was to start doing Obama 2008-style phone trees for the first 15 minutes of every meeting going forward. just doesn't seem like a plan to most people...b/c it isn't. and there's complete denial about how effective obama is going to be in GOTV. also, complete denial about the new voting law. it's not good, and the only way i see out of it is to get people with experience back in the driver's seat.
