86. Unanswered questions and 'coincidences'...
- I'm hoping that more 'moderates' participate in this discussion. Do they feel everything has simply been a series of coincidences since 2000? Do they feel that Clinton's impeachment was about lying? Do they think the 2000 election was 'stolen' or just 'close'?

- Here's the rub: we're the party of the poor, the worker, the disenfranchised. We represent those without money or property...those having a difficult time right now just surviving. Yet...here we are trying to be like those who represent the rich and the ruling class. Where does this leave those we USED TO represent? Do we simply hope they vote for us because there is no alternative? Have we given up on working to win their vote?

- Most of the poor and working class no longer vote because they feel their vote is wasted or they've simply lost HOPE. Instead of wooing the 'swing' (conservative) voter...the party must return to its roots and fight once again for the working class.
