(20,822 posts)from Fitzgerald's area, in fact, and most of my close family is still there, and I completely, utterly agree. I was truly disgusted not just at the state party's ridiculous and weak choice, but at it's equally inept and incompetent campaign all the way down the line. It's as if they NEVER learn, the state party has been that way for a long time. They think that if an incumbent is bad or corrupt, which KaSICK is in every sense of the word, that that's enough, they don't have to have a great opposing candidate or run a good campaign, that people will just naturally see it. Well, no, they won't. You have to give people a reason to vote FOR you, not just against your opponent and the state party, and you can't just naturally trust the voters, like too many Dems and state Dem parties (including the idiots in my own state's party, in South Dakota-don't even get me started on how they won't pull their heads out of their asses and it's cost us every office we had these past four years).
There are a lot of state Dem parties that need a real shakeup and wakeup. And touche on the driver's license comment. My mom, who's there in Cleveland, said that the moment she heard about that she knew that whatever small chance he had was understandably gone. What a fucking idiot.
