A message from management
By: R. Neal

Hey now, y'all chill out, OK?

Advocate for your candidates, discuss the differences, critique the other candidates and their campaigns, defend critiques of your candidate, etc. etc. all you want.

But please don't make it personal or take it personally.

Let's all keep our eyes on the prize: A Democrat in the White House and Democrats in local offices.

OK, then. Carry on...

All Passion Spent 1968

"Normally,in a Presidential year,the American autumn rises through crescendo to the roaring climax of late October.

Crowds swell in the cities..school children line the streets of small towns waving peppermint-striped flags..good friends,in anger stop talking to each other..& the drunks brawl over their rival champions.

But in 1968 it was entirely otherwise.It was as if,all passion spent,an enormous indifference overtook the American people."

Believe it or not, we're all on the same team!

I'm voting for whoever wins the Dem nomination.

Period.

Will you make the same promise right here and now?

Save your bullets and keep your powder dry for the aircraft carrier sized Swift Boat coming at us this fall.

Swift Boat money spent in 2004 - app. $36 million.

Minimum already promised by one man for 2008 - $250 million.

Be ready to fight the fecal tsunami that money sends out way.

I'm voting for whoever wins the Dem nomination.

Period.

How could any rational, thinking human being consider anything else? If it boils down to choosing the lesser of two evils, failure to exercise that choice ensures the triumph of pure evil.

I may have to hold my nose to do it, but whoever the Democrat is gets my vote.
