With the White House looking fiscally irresponsible, I’m crossing the aisle. I attended my first Kerry MeetUp last night at the Westport Library. There was a turnout of 40-50 people. As in any volunteer gathering, we were all at different stages. And unfortunately, that means a lot of milling about takes place before any organization starts to form. Hopefully we got that out of our system last night.

Things are complicated because it’s inconceivable for Kerry to lose Connecticut. I would think that the best thing we can do for Kerry is export help to other states. With Fairfield County being one of the richest counties in the US, that means fundraising. But while fundraising is incredibly important, I think that it’s hard to feel meaningfully connected while doing it.
