I remember the great maps Ken made that showed 2008 Democratic Party election performance in the county. It would be useful to compare those maps with 2012 maps and include that in future PC training. We created the foundation for a fresh start to combine lessons learned with new goals.Carol J.

However, I do believe there are lots of people who will step up and help. If you see something that needs to be done or done differently, I hope that you will jump in and help and encourage rather than discourage. <br /><br />Steve Muratore aka Arizona Eagletarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01404761986345385458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478354375758846359.post-920128726992106552012-12-09T11:59:12.781-07:002012-12-09T11:59:12.781-07:00Laura Copple is right in saying that we need to ha...Laura Copple is right in saying that we need to have Democrats running in the Red Districts to have success in the statewide races. Her Vice Chairs will need to be more helpfull than the Vice Chairs have been in the past if that is going to happen...Because 4.1 million people live in Maricopa County I feel that the LD Chairs will also need to step up and help...but that's just my opinion. Party building is also necessary if we are to avoid another 2010 debacle, it worked in Colorado in 2010, if we do it here it can work for Arizona in 2014.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478354375758846359.post-13917990154683297872012-12-09T09:50:38.726-07:002012-12-09T09:50:38.726-07:00"In legislative districts with strong Democra..."In legislative districts with strong Democratic voter advantage, if those voters do not turn out (perhaps believing it is not necessary because their state lawmakers are unopposed in the general election), that adversely impacts the chances for our candidates in statewide (or countywide) races."<br /><br />VERY interesting point that I had never considered. It seems like it would be advantageous to have a Republican with rather extreme views running, preferably one with little money and no organization, in order to provide a clarion call for action.<br /><br />- Joe D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-478354375758846359.post-16117726443949541652012-12-08T23:57:58.791-07:002012-12-08T23:57:58.791-07:00Thanks for this report Steve.

You did leave out the excellent, albeit rather geeky, presentation by Ken Chapman analyzing the election results.Bob Unferthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06084794507175278176noreply@blogger.com
