The first question most people ask: I thought that he was a republican? The answer is no! he is a democrat. Clyde Demersseman is just as much a democrat as you or I. I don’t like that some of our candidates are telling people their rivals are republican even when they have changed parties years ago.Tim Keller, Clyde Demersseman, and Bob Schwartz are democrats. Truth be told they had democratic values all along and for one reason or another they ended up in the wrong party at first. They come to our party with an understanding of just how wrong the Republican Party has become over the last eight years. These are men of honor who care about the voting public and who want to do good for their party. They have values and morals that can not be traded for public office. They are finding that most of us will talk to them and then welcome them to the democratic family. Some of our long time democrats who are running for public office are asking why him over me. The answer is because they have the passion and the knowledge to move the voters. They are willing to reach out to the voters while these long time democratic candidates display a reaction of entitlement. These new democrats take the time to show up to the party events. They are working hard to fit in and that counts. The voters are not children they look carefully at these new democrats and ask more questions then with any long time democrat. We are willing to give these men a chance to prove that they are true democrats. No candidate should every display a sense of entitlement toward the voting public when running for office. Voters want public servants not Prima Donnas. Maybe the long time democratic candidates should be asking what can I do to get your vote and start telling voters their vision of how they want to fix the problems we face rather then speaking ill of their rivals.
