First, advice: everyone just take a couple weeks off (after this thing is finally decided) and get your minds off politics for a while, clear your head, lessen the hand-wringing.
And then onto the breach! America is going to need a watchful eye on this inevitable Bush 2nd term, to force them to step back into line when they get out of it. And 2008 is not very far away.
Because as Americans, it is our DUTY to always contribute to the national discussion, to help guide America as best we can, through the good times and the bad. Please don't give up. Last night, i posted a very short and depressed message on my blog, but i've awoken this morning much more optimistic; the sun still shines, which i've taken to be a good sign that the world hasn't ended.
Even though we may have lost this time, and even though what we have hoped for hasn't come, we still have a place at the table in this country. But we must continue to work hard, just as we would have if we had won, to fix things here in America. And we can yet achieve it. Remember, this is America, where power is not absolute, where the people make the rules and no-one, not even our presidents are above them.
So then... when is Obama available to run?
