Can Democrats Win in Pittsford?
Saturday, November 10th, 2007The short answer is yes! It’s the ‘how to win’ that gets more complex. We can look back at the last election, still fresh in our minds, and probably come up with a myriad of mistakes made and opportunities missed. However, that’s not what this post is about. It is about moving forward. It is about preparing for the next time.
I only began attending committee meetings when I started to help Mike Nolan, but what I saw at our last meeting inspired me. The members who were there were passionate, organized and ready to go to work. If you need proof you only need to remember the committed visability organizers who stood at the four corners of Pittsford every morning and night from October 3rd right through election night. Then we have the people who gave up their weekend to do lit drops and those who came to phone bank on Monday and Tuesday. Even with the unfortunate phone bank issue on election night the calls got made. People were committed to follow through. All this is good news for the future but there is more we need to do.
