Went to a Democratic event over the weekend.
It is interesting seeing the Democratic party, long moribund, start building itself up again.
Simple demographics will give the state consistently to the Dems in about 10 years, but this movement will probably accelerate that somewhat.
Talked to a fellow from the Davis campaign about the ins and outs and whys and wherefores of the campaign. He was, of course, optimistic, and pointed out some interesting things about their strategy of pushing voter turnout.
I don't estimate that Davis will win, given her polling is enough behind, but we will see. I will have to start paying attention to the polls.
