In reply to the discussion: Where's all the "Tom Perez blame" this morning? [View all]vi5

I'm really curious how much the DNC was involved in the ground game.
I want to believe that we've turned the corner on spending insane amounts of money on well connected consultants and advertising agencies who do nothing but line their pockets while losing elections, and that we are now spending that money on get out the vote efforts as I've heard the DNC did in AL.
But I've seen no actual evidence other than some gloating threads giving all of the credit to the DNC. And maybe they did do what I hope they did.
