Congressional Turf Wars

AZCentral is reporting that Mitchell has visited J.D. Hayworth's north Scottsdale neighborhood, going door to door. Well, sort of. Mitchell visited the registered Democrats and Independents. J.D. Hayworth has been knocking on doors down in Mitchell's neck of the woods, but I'm interested to know whether or not Hayworth knocked on Republican doors or everyone's?

I applaud Mitchell for getting his message out with base Democrats and it is important in mid-term elections when the base turnout matters. However, I hope does not mean that this strategy will continue throughout the election. Harry Mitchell is a great candidate and he needs to get his message door to door throughout this district. That means more than knocking on Democratic doors this year.

I don't expect Harry to knock on every single door in the district (good luck to the guy who could!), but I wanted to make a point of this. The party has abandoned whole regions with only 30% Democratic support (in elections or registration). Arizona has been critically lacking in this regard. We are still without an opponent to Jeff Flake! The Democrats need to build their party this election, it's the only way we are going to get people to come back in 2008.

It's time to get the message out to as many as we can.
