44. I'm Def Voting as I did in '10

Sun Apr 14, 2013, 04:12 PM

but definitely will be trying to recruit Much better candidates, vetting More and more thoughtfully...and there are very few Dems I will donate to across the country--I "divorced" the DSCC/DCCC/DNC---I donate directly to "the ones I love".
I no longer give a crap whether there is a "D or an R" behind their names--I'm "in" with those who have proven records of doing the peoples work--period.
Hopefully many good, qualified folks will be willing to jump in--they might have the best chance ever of a strong win..especially the "unknowns outside the DC Beltway" without corporate ties.
