Reply #34: I agree Julie

Julie,

You and I totally agree on this one and this is something that Nancy has been emphasizing in her campaign appearances and big time on line. Everywhere Sharon posts she makes mention of the fact that Nancy didn't get any help. And I've been trying to make the point that as a candidate, you cannot count on the DCCC to help with money or the state party. But that seems to be the clarion call of her campaign, that she could have won had she gotten financial support from the DCCC and the MDP, but that support is not given, but earned, based on the candidate's fundraising and polling.

To my knowledge, Nancy never even did any polling of her own for her race, I assume due to lack of funds, but she took John Ashcraft's polling that we did the October before the election and that was the only polling data Nancy had access to.
