50-State Strategy: North Dakota Dems Make Gains

Good news from North Dakota Democrats:

In comparing the 2006 Primary Election results from the three previous elections, the Democratic-NPL Party made significant gains. In state-wide races, Democratic-NPL candidates averaged around 10 percent better than their Republican opponents.

Looking at the numbers from the Secretary of State's office, it would seem Republicans in North Dakota making marginal gains over their 2004 turnout numbers, while Democrats increased their primary support by over 50% in some cases - with most state-wide races seeing an increase of at least 10,000 votes.

North Dakota State Party Executive Director Jim Fuglie released a statement following Tuesday's elections:

“It’s pretty obvious that there’s much more enthusiasm among Democrats this year. We have been saying all along that 2006 will be a good year for the Democratic-NPL Party in North Dakota. This is promising news as the election season moves forward. I think North Dakotans are disappointed in the leadership they’ve received from Republicans on both the federal and state level. It’s pretty obvious to me that more voters chose the Democratic-NPL column this year."

Sounds a lot like what Kristin Hedger was saying when we talked last month. The 50-State Stategy means fighting in every district, in every state, and when we do that - when we recognize that Democrats live everywhere, work everywhere and can run anywhere, we can and will win electins everywhere.

It's not easy work, but it's work that is worth doing. Taking our country back one day at a time, precinct by precinct, showing up and getting the job done - that is what we are seeing across the country. Democrats from New York to California and EVERYWHERE inbetween are participating in local elections, state politics and national organizing events, winning elections they weren't "supposed" to win and making a difference.

The 50 state strategy is working, we all need to be patient.....but can't we "hasten" the cause so that it will catch fire with all Americans before the 2006 mid-term elections?

I hope that the next time the Media tries to rub it in that the Republicans have more cash than the Democrats,that someone will point out that it's because the Democratic Party does not sell-out to big business and lobbyists.Most of the cash comes from the American People.
