California Blue, I'd throw a year-long party. We HAVE to make sure the Republicans never succeed in apportioning California's electoral votes.

He's employing the 50 state strategy that Howard Dean espoused.

It was forgotten after Howard dropped out of the presidential race due to the absolutely unfair media slam of the alleged "scream".

Howard and Bernie are both from Vermont. I think Bernie has listened to Howard.

In the last two presidential races, Texas and other Repub states were ignored. This is not good. There are 25 million people in Texas. The cities in Texas are liberal, the rural areas are Repub. So basically Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC have said "You are a rural Texan; we don't care about you, even if you vote straight Democratic ticket". Well that will not work anymore.

I'm proud of Houston!
