2. There was no line for us...
but that being said, in the voter book, there are only 3 registered dems whose last names start with E and my husband and I are two of them - just to give perspective....

3. I felt that way in the last two elections. Huge crowds. Then we lost.
Crowds, ads, endorsements. Just can't tell what they mean.

5. Well I think
we lost despite the crowds because a lot of those votes disappeared down the rabbit hole.

6. Yes - but Terry McAuliffe never secured election process for 2002 and 2004.
Even after 2000s blatant theft.


Dean has been doing alot of work on state party infrastructures in many red and swing states where they had been collapsed and ineffective since the mid90s.

THAT is where the votes get stolen. In the PROCESS at every level where the votes are allowed, cast and counted.

Some say McAuliffe's actions were just incompetence - others say his failures were DELIBERATE.
