...young (and old) folks everywhere just fired up for this candidacy.

There's such a strong spirit that shines out of her supporters. They're organized, active, and committed - and bringing others on board everyday with an aggressive commitment-card game.

And there are the training events around the country which are attracting dozens and dozens each session. You can see the effect in their confidence and work-ethic. It also shows in their pride in their candidate and themselves.

You're right, Andy. This woman is just getting started.

I see how great she is with people, and how they relate to her, and that will make a big difference. If the people like you, if they can connect with what you are saying, then things start to fall in place.

Being organized "is" the key!

Harris and Warren are rocking it behind the scenes. That bodes well for the long run.

They are doing the most with the lesser amounts of money.
