I am unbelievably heartsore and disappointed in the voters of this country. I really underestimated the number of ignorant, selfish, short-sighted bigots that there truly are in this country. And to give credit where credit is due, the Democrats did not do a good enough job in turning out their base voters, as is evidenced by the Presidency, Senate, and House results.
As John Edwards said yesterday, the fight has just begun. We are down, but we cannot allow ourselves to be shoved out. Barack Obama is a good start for us. I expect great and inspiring things from him. And he is just the beginning, and just one person. We can expect good things from Russ Feingold, Gwen Moore, Melissa Bean, and many others. The Democrats need to work together towards the Congressional races of 2006 and do our damnedest to get some kind of balance back from the GOP-strangled government. There is no alternative. We have lost far too much and are about to lose more. If we let ourselves become cynical and discouraged, there will be no coming back from this disaster. The future is all we have left.
Cheers,
