....they do more "vetting" on Dem allies/operatives who are trying to help them than on their candidates! I swear it is like pulling teeth to get any of them to have a 15-30 minute meeting. Ugh! (Yes, I know they are busy!). Then there is Ohio, where they just don't really bother to be anything more than an org in name only (OINO), so what happens is Republicans run as Dems, "hand to god" I was told this by republicons, because their are frequently numerous races unfilled by a real Dem candidate so they run as the Dem candidate.

Whoever really holds the real power among DEMS needs to go because they suck, it is not an age thing, it is a performance issue!

Don't even ask me to talk about the "liberal" non-profits. I, a passionate reproductive rights person among other things, have tried to get my resume into Planned Parenthood and other liberal org for years. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. Pathetic. It is all patronage, cronyism, and nepotism. these groups love holding parties that is one thing I do know, meanwhile the AFP is well-oiled, well-organized and well-operationalized.

Peace
