What do these towns have in common?

[paineinthearse]

Ashby, Berlin, East Brookfield, Edgartown, Erving, Florida, Gill, Goshen, Gosnold, Granville, Millville, Monroe, New Ashford, Oakham, Petersham, Savoy, Sheffield, Westwood, Windsor?

Besides being small and in the boondocks, they either have no democratic town committee or failed to hold caucuses.

If you have progressive friends or relatives in any of these places, please PM their contact info to me.

thanks

1. WoW - Westwood?

There isn't enough people to put together a slate in Westwood? That isn't a small town.

Seems like the Party should be doing a walk through some precincts in all those communities. Easy enough to get a Die hard dem list from a local town clerk (those that voted in the last 3-5 Dem primaries)

2. I got that list too but . . .

I'm not sure how accurate it is. I swear I heard that Westwood went with Reilly, but maybe not. How can we check? Blue Mass Group archives?

I'm also pretty sure that Plympton did not have a caucus and it is not listed.

3. Ah . . . here it is

Excerpt from a letter Tom Reilly send out to supporters after caucuses:

Dear Friend,

I am writing today to thank all of you who have gone out and supported me at local party caucuses around the state. Based on the returns so far, we have already earned the support we need to guarantee a spot on the Democratic primary ballot.

Getting on the ballot was our goal from the beginning, and I am pleased to report that we achieved that and more. In fact, we did significantly better than we had expected in a number of communities, including victories in places such as Boston, Chicopee, Holyoke, Everett, Leominster, Fall River, Lowell, Methuen, Carver, Dighton, Dedham, Westwood, Marion, Middleborough, Sutton, and Norwood.

4. I got my solicitation from

another political camp.
