So I hear what you’re saying and will take it under advisement – seriously.

I can tell you that the idea of Huckabee being anywhere near power in our federal government definitely will move me to more action.

So let’s just see. Everyone has their own trajectory.

Btw, I wasn’t raised in Ohio – I moved here in 88 and always thought I’d be back on the East Coast. But I love it here.

Listen, it gets lonely. Some of these will be people who raised a stink about vote suppression, etc in your fine state.
(disclosure, I lived in Toledo through kindergarten, Marion through 7th grade, Springfield through HS grad. Columbus for awhile. Took classes at Wright State U., spent summers in Port Clinton on parents’ Chris Craft cruiser – been around some)

Something to think on, I graduated HS in 1971, remember Ohio of ’71? What’s it like today after Bush, Clinton x2, Bush x2 ? There was plenty wrong, but there was plenty right as well, today? At least some new Dems in office, and…?

I don’t even recognize the country I live in today. torture? get disappeared? Yes Nixon was a snake, but what??? Americans were dying at many multiples of Iraq in ‘Nam, and the damn President had to resign because he covered up a couple idiots? Today?

Sure, I’m no Obama fan, but look at the alternatives. How’d Ohio do under Clinton? Look it up. Then there are the three blind mice on the other ticket, keeripes. Boy it must be pretty hard to restrain yourself from trying to be a part of kicking their asses.

Look, I know you’re hurtin’ and you need to take care of that. But honey dear, there’s a heck of a lot of hurtin’ goin on and some of us are smart enough and articulate enough, and thoughful enough to help do something about it. By gad, if it turns out it’s a crappy bunch, you can quit.

I just told a friend of mine running Web for a Senate candidate she was my favorite gal blogger (she’s no lady, pretty though), well, then you’re my 2nd, and since she’s “retired due to employment” I guess you’re in good standing. My round the barn point is you do good work here, but there is concrete stuff to be done as well and all of us could use that kind of help.

Thanks for even considering it,
Chuck

That is one of the points of being involved, it cuts the opportunity for nonsense. Over the years the State Party has ranged from a reputation for “purity” clique nonsense, or totally disconnected, to currently a very grassroots driven open Party. These things vary depending on the participants. But the reality is that at 0.5% active participation the opportunity to make a difference is much greater than at the ballot box.

If nothing else, a pretty good level of conversation is found.

I’m sure I’ll get over all this, pick someone and work toward their election. But I am kind of caught up in the “which one” of it right now.
