Last night's meeting of the Victoria Democrats Club was very interesting and informative. Darlene Ewing, Dallas County Dem Party Chair spoke about how they turned Dallas County blue in 2006 and elected 47 of 47 democratic officials. (I don't remember the specifics on that one; sorry.) The high points were:
-Unite all democratic candidates under one message
-Actively campaign EVERYWHERE; be seen in every community
-Encourage people to vote down ballot (all democratic)
-Pool funds, resources, and campaign materials
One of the questions that was raised (credit to Mrs. Barbara Allen-Lampley) was, "Where did you find your volunteers?" Darlene said that most of them came with each of the candidates, but that this year especially, the Obama campaign has tapped into a core base of youth volunteers. Exact quote, "Senator Obama has thousands of youth...eagerly waiting to volunteer."
Crowd response: laughter and glances at Kelli and I.
Really? That's how it's viewed? Lol, I feel like it sounds like we're part of a cult...at any moment, Senator Obama could tell us to hole up in a cave until Nov. 5, and we'd do so. Lol, I guess we are self-professed Obamaniacs.
But is that really a problem?
