Here's a story from canvassing today in Western North Carolina that is worth reading: I went to a house somewhat off the beaten path. A woman around 40-years-old answered the door. I introduced myself, told her I lived about 25 minutes away, and told her I was out volunteering

Sad

Imagine reading this headline 10 years ago.

A Democratic strategist apologizes

On the trail this year, I met countless Americans working against long odds to make this country a better place. Those of us who want to live in a liberal, multiracial democracy will have to stay engaged and join them. That’s not only about unity. It’s about power.
