Nassau Democratic chairman Jay Jacobs is jetting off at 7:15 a.m. Saturday to take two dozen party activists to Dallas to help Hillary Clinton make a stand at what could be her political Alamo — the Texas primary and caucuses on Tuesday.
“I’m spoiled,” said Jacobs before taking off Friday. “We went up to New Hampshire expecting bad results and ended up suprising everyone.”
Jacobs said that he epects his crew, paying their own way with flights, will help organize a Saturday rally, carry signs, at high visibility areas, work neighborhoods, and help getting out the vote in both the primary, carry signs at hiigh visibility areas and and the caucuses that will follow. They will fly back Wednesday.
Originally, Jacobs said hed planned to take 35 volunteers but had to cut 15 when he learned they would be doing phone work -- which they could do without traveling to Texas. “I didn’t want it to be an imposition,” he said, adding that he had to keep reconfiguring the list. “I was getting in trouble because people were offended that I did not want them to go, and some begged to make the trip.”

Yes, just what HILLARY SOPRANO needs a nice bunch of NASSAU DEMOCRATS ALL DRESSED IN THEIR BEST YELLOW OUTFITS GOING DOOR TO DOOR IN TEXAS.
I wonder if any of these DEMOCRATS were in the North Country? I guess not, because if they were I am sure Newsdays James T. Madore would have seen them.But maybe he needs a new pair of glasses. One that also sees NASSAU DEMOCRATS NOT JUST REPUBICANS, BUT MAYBE NEWSDAY DOES NOT HAVE AN EYEGLASS PLAN. SO HE CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW PAIR.
