Where were you when we needed you?
Strader said that without an opponent, he won't have to have another fund-raiser. He had one in early December, where he raised about $12,000, he said.

I think I mentioned this before. Before we cannibalize our own party, why not post a little opposition for the Republicans?
The Republicans have their 72 hour plan to get out voters --democrats need to work on a 24 month plan to actually get out candidates for next go around. I hope that the local party can better prepare for next go around by starting right after elections this fall. You'll definitely see more YD's and CD's involved.
