On Saturday morning the newly elected Democratic Committeemen and Committeewomen met at the Nesquehoning Fire Company. We had the usual coffee and donuts, elected the County Chair (Billy O’Gurek), and heard the Treasurer’s report (not too much money, per usual).
What struck me was how happy the Democrats were. A few months ago I attended a meeting of the 9/12 group in Carbon County. They are our local equivalent of a Tea Party group, and they were so angry. Angry at unions. Angry at immigrants. Angry at the Affordable Care Act. At least three of them were packing.
And here were the Democrats. Happy to see each other. Happy for the coffee. Happy to have won their elections. Nobody armed.
I am so pleased to be a Democrat. So happy.
