I didn't see the Democratic party machine lending her a lot of support. She's the new generation of activists, and I totally welcome that. The Democratic party itself is still very conservative, and they have not always reflected the populist wishes of their base, as seen by the legislation they have often narrowly voted to pass. We're working on it, but it hasn't made the turn yet.
