It is 2:30, the day after the election. I've been searching Democratic websites since 5:30 a.m., looking for intelligent analysis of the election, the process, the future. Where are our progressive leaders?
We have two short years until our next chance to gain a little electoral ground. Time's a-wasting! Stop the hand-wringing already!
This happened because the regressives are organized, and they reacted emotionally. Dividing lines are clear: the rational vote went for Kerry, the emotional vote went for Bush. Emotion will almost always win out over reason.
What's important for us to do now, is to reach out. We're all humans here, we're all wanting the same things, basically: love, security, respect. Smile at a stranger, open a door for them. Be nice to someone you don't know. We need to win their hearts and minds. The rest will follow.
