I was first pretty skeptical, but it is a little humorous .... A commentary on the state of the race, in some respects ....

I presume, forgive me if I'm wrong, that you think adding humor to a democratic board is all you can do because California will go blue.

Well, here are things you can do:

Phone bank,

Canvas,

Drive HS students out to canvas.

Phone bank to other states.

Then, when you are tire of doing that, you can come to a discussion board and post funny things!



BTW, my investment this weekend was three hours, I'm on the speed dial for the local Dems when it comes to requests for service.

You can be, too, and if you want I'll show ya how ta do it!

Good fun. Come on, all - two weeks to go, a debate looming (one in which I'm positive our President will do us proud) and a push to the end.

We really gotta laugh at the polling at this point and - GOTV!
