in Wisconsin,but we had a spokes person with oratory skills and plain bad ass get in your face attitude. La Foliate worked with labor and Main Street folks to better our State. Then,along came Tail Gunner Joe and the Birchers,with their Newspaper buddies they pretty much wiped out the Progressive Movement by name calling and fear mongering. We have to get back to the basics,and,that means kicking ass and taking names at the Prescient level. Got to get the people engaged again. Most people want to be get along go along and not make waves. Well,it doesn't always work that way. The Rethugs really figured this out in the 70's by developing data bases and voter lists and the rest is history. They now know how to win elections,but they still screw over the minions who drink their Kool Aid,were in we have to some how get the facts out and counter their bullshit. Our so called strategist's are mostly Ivy League folks who do not connect with the numbers of voters that are necessary to win elections. Great example is Al From,what a loser this guy is,and sorry to say Mr. Obama is influenced by this turkey.
