1. I think the PRIMARIES will be crucial. Is there any organized effort...
to challenge conservative Dems in the primaries?

2. Depends on what Congress does or doesnt do
Its their call.

They can continue to pursue legislation that only helps big business, then they can be voted out and take those jobs those businesses have offered them if money means more than morals.

4. Calling Ralph Nader.
And asking if his refrigerator is running.

6. Nothing.
Tennessee has no Democrats running in my district.

My neighborhood is a Democratic enclave in an otherwise Republican stronghold (all my local reps. - city council, school board, county commission, state house - are Democrats. We have a moderate Republican as state senator, but she was only elected because the district gets larger and includes many rural areas at her level).

There are two Democrats no one has even heard of running for governor. That race will be decided by the Republican primary (and we currently have a Democratic governor, so it will be a loss). And there are no Dems running against my US representative.

Not sure what I could do, exactly.

Senator AND Joe Lieberman. Yuck. I will do anything I can for his campaign here. Not sure who will run against him in the CT primary, if anyone.

10. I have been $upporting Jennifer
She is certainly under pressure from the Ohio "scared to take a stand" Democratic Party establishment. Fisher's going to get the Strickland endorsement and I expect the party endorsement.

15. Brunner as the nominee will get the legwork to GOTV, although Fisher has corporate $.
I'm one of those Dems who will NO longer vote straight party ticket. If Fisher is the nominee, then I'll back the OH Green Party candidate. That's why I'm working to make sure Brunner is the nominee.

I'm not a fan of Gov "Clean Coal & Casinos" Strickland. His bobbling head repeatedly looped during the primary will forever remain in my memory.

14. Working for Alex Sink and all other Democratic candidates.
And gearing up for a very heated, nasty city council/mayoral fight in my city.

11. Waiting to see whether I think Democrats are worth working for.
What happens with HCR will be a major test for me.

12. I'm going to be the campaign manager for the Ralph Nader/Noel Gallagher 2012 ticket
I realize this will be a huge conflict for you whether to support this ticket or not.

Pathological Nader hatred vs Oasis fanboyism..... which way to go? :shrug:
