273. Well, his wife was very ill... But we have to support our Democratic presidents.

I mean Sanders asked for a primary challenger in 12. 2012 was touch and go. It turned out all right but those of us working the campaign were worried in the early days. Bill Clinton and Joe Biden did much of the heavy lifting. And Hillary helped as well. You have to have reasonable expectations and congressional races are just as important as presidential elections. We have to turn out for them. As the saying goes...'you want a liberal president, give him a liberal Congress"

I should say I was a lurker back then...I was scared tor really participate...I signed up at some point but I was scared to post. ! I worked a great deal too. I think I made some posts about electoral stuff a ... we needed telephone bank people...that sort of stuff. But to actually answer a post...no way. My sis in law was ill so I needed to be home more, and I took the plunge at Du...I was so bored at home! And I have enjoyed talking to really nice people like you! Sis beat cancer and had a hip replacement. God bless her...she even went door to door with me to get out the vote in 08 and 12. She is a trouper. She has insufficient veins so she couldn't do all that walking in 16. But after treatment she plans to get out and help elect Democrats this year.
