I am seriously seeking answers here.
I stay up with this site and others and with polls and with Democratic activities here locally and in my district. I am on a team of good people working for a smart, progressive candidate who is taking on Republican nutjob Virginia Foxx. We're full tilt.
I'm an activist and fairly well connected.
I just read Steve's front page poll diary (including the ones projecting all the way out to 2012 for Obama). I've also been reading the diaries about the Republican push polling that is already going on in some states. I think I'm going to have a hard time sleeping tonight.
I'm not a person who panics, and I have gone through some bad years for Democrats, including 1994. I understand there are some years that are exceptionally tough. That's certainly what this one is shaping up to be.
I don't want to focus on any blame in this diary. I don't want to focus on "woe is me." What I want to know if there is anything going on for us at a national level at all? Is there any push polling by our team? Are we setting up some form of organization? Are we putting together some strategy and networking?
Because if we are, I don't know about it and would really like to.
Yes, I get the "High Priority" emails from various Democratic or other progressive groups. Usually these emails hit my inbox about the time it's too late to really affect anything. Or they ask me to sign some petition.
Is anything going on from our national leadership to help us win our candidates? Or are we just all on our own this time.
Seriously, I need to know cause I can see nothing from my house.
