(73,536 posts)The Democratic Party is strong in our state. But it is not always unified, and unfocused strength isn't often a safe bet.
Hillary's re-election to the US Senate was an overwhelming victory. But things have changed over the years, from when she first ran, and when she was re-elected. Even within the organized party, there are differences between, say, the urban, suburban, and rural areas in NYS.
What is fascinating to me is that there are lots of people who are registered to vote, who have not made up their minds yet. If they vote for Hillary, she will have a comfortable victory. If they go for Bernie, it will be mighty close.
These old bones are too tired and sore to hit the streets today. But the telephone allows me the ability to continue with my campaigning for Bernie. The rally is tomorrow, and then another week to keep on fighting that Good Fight.
Note: The internet also comes in handy, as far as communicating with students on upstate colleges & universities!
