The Way Forward

Given that our new DNC chief is described as an excellent fundraiser, hopefully that at least will provide us with the cash aspect of a 50 state strategy.

And let's be fair, we do compete in all 50 states and there are Democrats who work very, very hard to bring Democracy to some of the worst/reddest areas of the country. Those areas aren't going to flip overnight, but with the money, message, and right candidate, they might one day.

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before."

Every dollar donated, every grocery store encounter, every phone call--it's a way of hitting that stone.
