32. I'm tempted to ask
"Which Mayor Daley?" ;-)

I'm assuming you mean the one that delivered the '60 election for Kennedy, and not the one who tore up Meigs Feild and is embroiled in so many would-be scandals nowadays? THAT (nuveaux) Mayor Daley has even agreed with Bush on many an occasion. His Daddy must be rolling in his grave.

But seriously, I do agree with you that the important issues are being lost and discredited with all the clamor about overturning the 2004 Election results. If we Americans had taken to the streets in outrage by the thousands, the way the Ukrainians did, then yeah, we'd stand a chance of that. The Blogosphere (those of us frantically poised over our keyboards) doesn't count, I'm talking bodies camped out in tents across the street from the White House, the way they did over in the Ukraine.

But, we didn't, so we don't stand a chance of changing anything this time around. Sorry folks, "game over" for 2004 - you don't get a re-vote just because of your post-count.

Set your sights on the future. Reform, and regroup.
