Feb 2012

I attended county (and some state) functions for 8-10 years and was actively involved in our county's women's group. After the defeat of Gov. Barnes and Sen. Clelland, the Republican control of the state really accelerated and I don't think the party knew how to respond to this new reality. Rank and file supporters were further discouraged by the parade of elected Democrats switching their party allegiance in order to preserve their own positions without any commitment to the Democratic principles they espoused to get elected. All of this has served to make me pretty cynical and changed my focus from state and local politics to national races.

Do you see any change in the foreseeable future?
