On the board at last.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post detailing the extreme difficulty I had had in finding grassroots Hillary supporters. Now it turns out that Clinton folks will have their first meetup in Buncombe County this coming Thursday at 7pm, at the Atlanta Bread Company on Merrimon Ave. Checking on the Hillary '08 site, I see that groups are up and - well - starting to run across the state. North Carolina's primary could get contentious, apparently.

Now, the fact that Obama folks have been meeting for months doesn't mean that they're better organized, or will be by the time the primary rolls around. And better organization doesn't always translate into victory, anyway. But Hillary supporters will have a lot of ground to make up, and a lot of hard work to pack into six weeks. Good luck, guys, and welcome to the grassroots!
