We have five days left for raising Arizona. Before the Ides of March we were 26 pts. behind Clinton with the same 26 pts. undecided, and it seems to me that had we done better on the Ides, most of those would have gone to us. It's important to note that the most recent poll before that was pretty much the same, so...they were thinking...thinking....
I haven't banked yet, I've been working on trying to mobilize the Facebook sites to make this top priority, pin the notices, make memes, etc. I'll continue doing that tonight and start calling tomorrow. (I have the added issue that the deadline for closed primary reg in NY, my state, is also next week.) But I would imagine that the most important thing in Arizona or any state is to give the facts about our chances of winning, by dispelling super del myth, media ineluctability myth, mentioning that WE don't campaign in polling places and such...talking about stuff like how there was a glowing article on nyt. online and it was edited and a lousy title put in, then put on nyt. hard copy cover the DAY of the primaries. Suppose we had had that glowing title on the cover of ny.t on 3/15 instead of something portraying Sanders as an ineffectual candidate in Congress? Don't you think we could've gotten those 1532 votes in Missouri to win? And so on...
My sense is in general in the states we're dealing with: Arizona, Utah, and Idaho, there are very strong feelings about freedom and fair play. So I think we need to make the case but WITHOUT sort of freaking people out...it's not easy for people's illusions to be dispelled, and also we wouldn't want it to get around that we're trashing the party. But yanno, Bernie didn't campaign in polling stations, they did...so I think making our case that we're the underdog but we're still alive and kicking and ready to roll in the west...
Of course there's a lot of Hispanics Hispanics in Arizona and Dolores Huerta put a huge human investment into demonizing Bernie for his Immigration Vote of 2007. Both votes, the yea and nay, were legitimate votes, and Bernie's vote was about not having the guest workers working like slaves. He was advised to vote nay by LULAC and Southern Poverty Law Center, among others, and Latino Rebels blog supports him passionately on this and denounces Huerta for misportraying him. The Dolores Huerta Foundation was the recipient a few years ago of a $100,000 grant from the Clinton Family Foundation. She is totally enmeshed in the Democratic Machine and the Clinton Machine and the young radicals think she's a sell-out and a hypocrite. But most people view her as an 'icon', she's a 'sacred cow', so if anyone has been influenced by Huerta's vilifications, it will be best to tell the truth treading very lightly.....
