re: #161 BeachDem

You can do all kinds of work for candidates, even if they don’t actually come to your specific area. During the primary, Hillary only came to our county one time—two days before the vote—but people here worked their asses off—phone-banking, door-knocking, letter-writing, fund-raising—for months and months before the primary.

Yup. This district covers the whole state from Iowa to Wyoming, from South Dakota to Kansas, and except for gerrymandered slivers in South Omaha and Lincoln, is very low population density. To win NE3 one would need to travel throughout the district campaigning. I presume a visit to Scottsbluff would likely be on her list.

That said, even if she didn’t come here I would do what I could (phone bank, talk her up, write the paper, &c). The problem you get here is “well, so-and-so didn’t even bother to come talk to us, why should I vote for her?” There was plenty of that with Hillary Clinton here (she only visited Omaha once 420 miles away).
