re: #211 BeachDem

I can only speak for what has gone on in this state, but the Dems here, outnumbered though we are, have made a huge priority of engaging young people. At our state issues conference, one of the main forums was about young activists, and they are working to set up strong Young Dem and College Dem groups everywhere possible.

It’s not going to happen overnight, but, if there’s that much emphasis in a solid-red state like this, I can only hope it’s going on elsewhere.

I’m really interested to see what happens with your state. I’ve seen my state go from a state that hadn’t gone Democratic at a presidential election to twice going for Obama and I think one that would be favorable to Hillary in 2016. Plus we’ve elected three Democrats to the Senate since Bush’s re-election. Demographics have played a big role I think but I think the state Democrats deserve credit too since the Dems actually did control the state senate at one point.
