Quick update

I've got a full day today with the funeral. More to come. ============ Hanging out with 1,500+ Clinton supporters yesterday certainly was the spirit boost I - and probably all of us - needed.

Hillary on a roll

Perfect timing: Clinton wins PA

Just got back from the Legislative Black Caucus event in Richmond (more on that later). Turned on the TV to catch the results and I see not only that Hillary has been declared the winner, but she is just starting to speak. Great job, PA Democrats! Congrats to Senator Clinton!

Got some time today? Help out the Hillary campaign by making phone calls to PA voters. After the polls close, join the Norfolk City Democratic Committee and the Tidewater Young Democrats for a Results Watch Party at The New Belmont. Food and drinks are your responsibility, but you can't beat the company 😉

Campaign hurting the party?

According to a Gallup poll released today, Democrats are about even on whether the continuing campaign is hurting the party, effectively debunking the MSM meme that the voters are tired of the primary and want it to be over. All in all, Democrats are divided on the impact of the continuing and protracted campaign for … Continue reading Campaign hurting the party? →
