Make all races national......
People are so sick of Republicans and corruption in DC. If Dems can make all Republicans fit into that national "culture of corruption" then we can win mayorships, city council seat, State Lege seats etc.

The idea that all politics is local works, but to an extent. If Dems can successfully root out Republicans as being corrupt and elitist, then winning elections and creating a concrete base is possible. We had two women blow out incumbent city council members for the Tucson city council. One was a three time incumbent and he lost by nearly 30 points. Voters are sick of Republicans. We need to makes sure we paint them all with the same brush. A Republican is a Republican just the same as a rat is a rat. It doesn't matter where they live. We need to take them all out.

1. Well....
things are looking up, Wetzel! I think you're right that we need to throw them all out.

But I do believe the tide is turning. Here in Oregon, we have mail-in voting. Every registered voter gets a ballot in the mail. They have time to think about the issues. No rushing. No waiting in line.

We just don't have the problems other states have.

2. that's a good idea
make sure everybody gets a ballot in the mail. In AZ we have to request one if we want to mail it in.
