Campaigning for liberals: Do they stay or go?

Thursday, October 23rd, 2008 at 4:34 pm in 2008 November election, 2008 presidential election.
A few weeks ago, there was “Drive for Change,” an appeal to California Democrats to pack their bags and travel to battleground states and campaign for the Democratic presidential ticket.
Plenty of folks are doing it, too. In fact, the response has overwhelmed Obama campaign organizers in Nevada who fear the locals — who often view Californians with considerable and well-deserved scorn — will see it as an invasion. (I lived in Northern Nevada for many years and I know of what I speak.)
Now, Calitics blogger Brian Leubitz urges “Stay for Change.”
Lots of local candidates and state ballot measures need precinct walkers, too, he argues.
“This is California,” he wrote. “We have the people right here in this state to defeat these terrible props, and accomplish our goals. But we need some progressives to stay here in California.”

It is a symptom of how bad the CAGOP is that the democrats are soooooo far ahead that they can leave the CA to campaign in other states.
