State of the Party

My opinion - sure to be held over my head as soon as I push publish:

• The county party is weak, the districts are strong
• We hold a bunch more offices now, and the office holders will drive the party not the party leadership
• Valparaiso will continue to be the guiding force whether south county likes it or not
• Duneland is a real opportunity, although Fair Haven is no longer running things
• We may win the Portage mayor's race if the Dem primary is ugly
• Watch for redistricting to change the house and senate seats enough that we can gain one of each.
• Local tea party is done. RLC is growing and a positive influence.
  

What are your thoughts on the party now?

There's another NWI Pundit, so the site name is confusing. But head there now for the next installment in today's speedblogging exercise.
