Come on Du'ers We need to pick ourselves up
we have half the country on our side and the other half who don't vote, we have the rest of the world who mourns with us. We gave our heart and soul and we should be proud. We cared and we should be proud. We fought and we should be proud.

We should NEVER give up and accept defeat cause we are not defeated. We know in our heart of hearts the exit polls were right and that fraud was involved. I will never allow them to steal my spirit cause they can't.

1. I agree.
As bad as this is (if we indeed lose), there are still some moderate Republicans in Congress who will not stand for anything completely atrocious (remember how badly the "Club for Growth" wanted to get rid of Arlen Specter). Another one is my own Representative (Mike Castle). As much as I dislike him, he is not a wild-eyed right-winger. Lincoln Chafee, Olympia Snowe, the others who criticized Bush for a variety of things. They are not all in lock-step yet. We have rising stars (Obama and Edwards, I think; there's probably more).

And face it, the economy will be worse in four years. Eventually even "Kansas" will have to recognize that they need jobs, money, food, health care, retirement funds, etc.

I don't think any of OUR justices will retire under Bush; he can only replace the real righties and we still can prevent another Scalia/Thomas.

The thing I'm mainly worried about is the media, but we'll find a way.
