HOSED BY THE NUMBERS!

HOSED BY THE NUMBERS

'06 primary:

Rock Island County--Just under 12,500 dem ballots (17th CD same)

Adams County--Just under 3800 ballots (17th CD=2560)

Fact of life:

Year in and year out, Adams County accounts for .0.6% of the Statewide primary vote

This means in internal state democrat affairs our County, like a major league infield, frequently gets hosed.

Unfortunately that is our lot in life.What we might do to counter that is channel our new found energy into organizing and identifying new democratic and progressive voters in our county,field attractive candidates in local uncontested races,and give the electorate good reasons and the motivation to vote Democratic.Success might not increase our numbers substantially on a statewide basis but we may gain attention and some influence in the process.
