(54,770 posts)1. Not enthused about a long-time Democrat losing, but that is a powerful message. Could definitely
get behind someone like her. I think she'd have a tough time where I live, but it's time for that message to be given a chance.
Hope to see more of those ads from her and others.

As much as I like the message, it was the connection with the individual voter that works. "send their kids to our schools, drinks our water, breaths our air". No matter where one runs, in a congressional race, that's the kind of connection one has to make. Money/contributions can't really "fix" that.

Dems need to learn from this. Grasp George Lakoff.
