In a post on VB Dems, Dan Sullivan asks, “Where’s the Democratic Campaign?” This is a question that I’m sure many Democratic activists in Virginia have been asking themselves. No too long ago,……

We’ll see.

1) I’m still recovering from last Fall – I worked hard campaigning and spent a lot of mental energy analyzing and stewing over the politics of the Presidential election. I was over the moon excited over Virginia’s results, but I felt like an airless balloon that Wednesday morning and have had very little taste for politics since – and I won’t likely be ready to jump in again until the Fall.

and 2) as Joel said above, I’ve felt a general lack of enthusiasm for the Democratic offerings this year. I’m an Albemarle Dem and I’ll support Creigh wholeheartedly this Fall, but do I think he can win in a statewide contest against a guy he’s already lost to once? NO.

Don’t get me wrong, I support this ticket as an alternative to Bob and gang; but I wondered if active activists (you know, the ones that actually knock doors, make phone calls, and give campaign’s life) would give their time and resources.

You’ve been involved longer, so maybe it’s just the cycle; but I’m pretty sure enthusiasm, or lack thereof, is a factor.
