"The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism — ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. ”

Steve Cohen tells the TRUTH about the County Elections
He was on Informed Sources on NewsChannel3 Sunday night. Listen to what he says:
Steve knows his business. I walked my entire precinct and the only GOTV effort was mine (working a Cohen list of commitments that didn't EV). Cohen's supporters all went and voted. The feedback I got from other potential Democrats was "WHY?"
Cohen needs to be very careful in calculating whether to debate the Republican. He might need a history lesson about what happened to RFK in Oregon after not debating Gene McCarthy. But if Cohen got 87 percent last time and with a large black turnout, he should be fine. He does, as you know, come across as arrogant, however. That may lead to an eventual downfall.
