We don�t need politicians with ideas imported that are more pertinent else where, nor the self-serving blue dogs nor red dogs dogmas though there is need for proactive Democratic Party presence. A proactive Democratic Party presence that is not confined but is regional and permanent in nature which will not be achieved with any short term approach.

Democrats Why the Democrats didn't Win in 2008

Now that got your attention before one of these trolls attack me for the eye catching headline let me say that where Obama/Biden won the Democratic Party did not win as it should have won in a 50 state strategy though Howard Dean did a good job, and Obama/Biden did a good job:

I live in Blair County which is part of central Pennsylvania that the great and honest American Rep in Congress John Murtha said truthfully was "racist" and "redneck until recently". Rep John Murtha is in Cambria County I am in the next county over Blair county and the difference is can be contrasted by how lacking things are.

As Tip O�Neil stated all politics is local and if that is the case Democrats locally should have been doing business as usual, but unfortunately and typically they did.

The regional typically was more pro-Clinton in the primaries, more pro-McCain in the general election as McCain received over two thirds of the vote in Blair Co while Obama/Biden took the State by a plurality of 15% Blair County should of voted of the �colored guy� but didn�t though I did.

In what was a once proud industrial area that is now lorded over by a sub-par intellect do nothing ex-car salesman in Congress Shuster and a lunatic extremist in the State Senate voters have received little for their support at the polls.

(Eichelburger who rides his gas guzzling pickup truck while he arrogantly supported cutting and eliminating public transportation so as to cripple everyone too poor, too sick, too old, too disabled to have vehicle so as not to be able to afford getting around for basic needs like shopping and other basic needs.)

The local Republican party Chairman was caught red-handed with over fifty Obama/Biden sign in his vehicle, but he wasn�t charged with grand theft (the signs were sold for about $15 each) nor 50 plus counts of petty larceny, nor 50 counts of receiving stolen property though he should as that is how regular people are normally treated in Blair County.

Now I received numerous mailing from the Pennsylvania State Democratic Party, and Working America, plus massive emailings from the Obama/Biden organization though at some point they got to be too much for my overworked inbox and email account, and where it became too much to read. I was not approached to register to vote (though I was already registered) so the sympathy for the Democratic Party in Altoona was not tapped.

But did any one see someone knock on my door preferably before election day let's say before the Democratic Party convention? The last contact I had was two years ago when canvassers exported from Pittsburgh by Working America walked up to me and neighbors on the porch of my then rental to have us sign a petition which put me on their mailing list. Those canvassers had no real idea as to the political sentiments of me and my neighbors, when was a born again Larouchie nut, two were racist, and the other besides myself drank too much and is now deceased. So those canvassers dropped in as if they were aliens and then departed gaining no real knowledge of the area and its people.

Though Altoona has a great deal of democratic sentiment that sentiment has not been harnessed nor addressed instead it has been used and toy with.

I did not vote for Morganelli for State Attorney General because of his attempt to out Republican the Republicans with presumably Blue Dog positions and a vehemently anti-immigrant rhetoric, and instead opted to write myself in though I have no intention of running for public office.

I agree that sensitivities all over the state and country are not the same but I am strongly against the Blue Dog solution of fragmenting the Democratic Party as what they suggest does not hold weight else where just a radical Democratic party approach perhaps does not succeed where they may reside work and vote.

Rep John Murtha got caught in his honestly stating the particulars regarding Central Pennsylvania and had to pay a price campaign but was reelected anyway. Contrasting Blair County to Cambria County and the State College Area, Obama/Biden did better there:

As Blair County bucked the national trend by having not prepared I contributed to the local Democratic Party before though I am a bit self-centered and on my own time schedule, and in my own little world, but who in the last two years contacted me?

The Blair County Democrats can not be singled out as it is an issue of Central Pennsylvanian that I blame on the National State Democratic Party for not getting beyond their TV Ads and mailings that they opted for since they know they have no ground organization to really speak of. In Central Pa.

I suggest and in fact strongly state that the 2012 presidential campaign should start now not in 2010 or 2011 and in order to get a different result other than what was already achieved that a completely different approach should be taken as that is what is needed.

If Obama/Biden really won the elections in 2008 the vote should have been different, and they should of carried the county and region,
