Bill,
I enjoyed your comments. Precinct work is tiring and frustrating at times. But, the real battle is in who is running the operation - who populates the district party committee. Are they competent, or is the organization a mess ideologically - which usually means the organization isn’t being effective at its precinct responsibilities.
I know what you are saying, but many of us refuse to support anyone for control of the committee or organization unless that person is willing to help and has a history of doing the real work. The guy who thinks he can step into running the operation when he’s never worked the operation gets no support from me.
