117. My pleasure
People who surround themselves with like minded people often fall into the trap of thinking that everyone agrees with them.

I deal with people all over the US in very different walks of life and the way even the moderates among them see the US is very different. I also deal with a lot of conservative Democrats and the way they see the party is also very different than how we in California (I realize there are people from all over here) tend to see things.

Working on the Clark campaign I was really surprised at how many young people saw Democrats as the enemy or at least as the party of "sell outs". While there is some truth to that, I just don't believe we can allow that to color our judgement at the national level.
