Help in scare quotes because… well, because it’s the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Those guys* are as about as ‘helpful’ as is a sudden outbreak of cholera.
A progressive activist group that is strongly supportive of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is reaching out to Democratic leaders and activists in New Hampshire this weekend.
Progressive Change Campaign Committee organizer Don Weigel emailed New Hampshire Democrats inviting them to coffee in Portsmouth on Saturday and in Manchester on Sunday. State Democrats received two emails from Weigel – – one Saturday and one Sunday.
The PCCC’s kiss of electoral death is well known, of course – and, like cholera, easily avoidable if you have access to uncontaminated resources. Why they think that Elizabeth Warren even wants their help is unknown: after all, if she runs** she knows that she’ll have their votes, and probably their money. Actually getting their services is probably neither necessary, nor particularly wanted…

*Under normal circumstances I would use ‘folks’ or ‘people’ to describe the group, because I don’t believe in unnecessarily offending others. Politeness costs nothing, and rudeness is unseemly. But, to paraphrase Guy Gavriel Kay: when it comes to these guys, I feel like being unseemly.
**I’m not convinced that Elizabeth Warren wants to run in a bruising primary that she might not even win – and if she does win, Warren will still get utterly shellacked in a general election.
“if she does win, Warren will still get utterly shellacked in a general election.”
I sure hope you’re right, but the Republicans have a knack for putting up the kind of loser that could lose to someone like Warren.
…which is why the GOP and Democratic parties have spent the last sixty years or so trading the White House to each other every eight years. 🙂
Certain movers and shakers in the party seem to have learned nothing from 2012 considering the fact Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney are getting some buzz.
Those two could probably be beaten by Warren.
Warren wants the nomination… in 2020.

Scott Walker would run her over in 2020 without even having to slow down.
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!
Walker, Jindal, even Perry despite his age ( 64) all would come off as more youthful then Warren. And are frankly more down to earth and likeable then Warren ( or Hillary)
