Reply #120: I couldn't agree more

The problem in our own party is the tone of things.

Yeah, I'm incendiary. But that's because I'm *mad* *as* *hell*. I'm mad that the two left standing are neither our best nor our brightest. One might actually be ...... but in a few years ..... not now. The other one is a retread from an earlier time. A good time, largely, in my view, but a time that is gone. And everyone is glad it is.

But what do we have now? We have open warfare within our party. And those of us not enchanted by the choices are supposed to do what? Turn on a dime and support the cool guy? Or look like a dope and support a loser? No thanks.

No good choices, in my view.

I actually **expect** magnanimity from the winners. I see it as the role of a winner to open their arms and invite in those who weren't with them. Instead, we get this shit. Again.

I agree with you. We have to find a way. I think that's incumbent on the winners.

I did my first volunteer campaign work in 1972. I may just skip this year. There's no senate race in my state. My congressman is a shoe in, even if he never campaigns. There are no significant local races. And I can't see myself working along side the likes of some (not all) of the Obama supporters I've seen - here and in real life.

Sore winners.

We'll see what happens in Denver. I'm hopeful. And hoping against hope that hope isn't really just whistling past our graveyard.
