Regardless of what you think about Hillary staying in the race or not, you have to be excited about the way the prolonged primary has forced the candidates to engage people across the country who never were touched by election politics before.

This Washington Post article about Bill Clinton touring rural communities in North Carolina and speaking in them made me really excited for the prospect of the Democratic Primary descending on Montana. This election season has really brought the election to all fifty states in a way that hasn’t happened for a long time.

Small town America suddenly has big time political significance–that is a pretty exciting prospect.
