It seems almost hopeless here. I started out working in the local party, but it is nothing but infighting and an inability to self govern. I had a member of the exec committee tell me that the most important thing about the Party was not necessarily winning elections.

I mentally noted that we are totally screwn here in AR.

The result will be the same ugly red. Iowa had one of the highest turnouts and it made them more Red, for a swing state that is the worst. My poor niece has been working 50 hours/week for nearly two years in Iowa to get out the Democratic votes as a Dem. Party worker. She feel depressed at the outcome there.
