I just got done watching Jon Stewart's excoriaton of the South Carolina state Dems in which Dems in SC blamed Republican misdeeds for Alvin Greene's election as their representative for the Senate. It reminded me of the accusations (excuses) hurled in by Democrats in our party for our results in election contests. We have always accused the Repubs of "slamming" voters in our county through the registration process. I say to our fellow Dems,it is our fault!!! When was the last time we conducted a robust registration drive? How long has it been since we canvassed Democratic households and urged them to vote absentee? During my campaign to be on the Central Committee I canvassed households and the MAJORITY of them felt like they were the only Democrats on the block when a Democrat lived right next door to them!!! We have to admit that we fucked up before we can move on. Let us have this catharsis so we can achieve an Inland Empire that is truly representative of the people.
