I can recall having conversations with some of the old timers as recent as two years ago. The discussion of things like social media either made their eyes glaze over or was met with condescending derision - not out of meanness but rather from a clear lack of understanding.

The way to do things has changed. The way to turn red states blue is going to be through young minds and fresh ideas that are tutored by someone with one foot firmly planted in both camps - someone who accepts the changing activist landscape and has the connections to implement it on a state-wide organized official level.
