| As Campskunk pointed out yesterday, BHO's barely keeping the nose of his plane up in the polls. He should be way ahead of McCain at this point and yet he's barely able to keep even with the guy.
This after limping across the finish line in June against Hillary - the Democrat who's pulled in more primary votes than anyone - ever - in our party's history.
Since that big mission accomplished speech in June, groups have sprung up all over the country. Millions of us have organized, blogged, written letters, made phone calls, met with delegates and the superdelegates from our state all in an effort to make sure our voices are heard. And I think people in Chicago are starting to get the message because after a lot of serious opposition from all those political hacks and experts, we finally won something - our candidate is going to be on the ballot folks!
Eighteen million votes and we still had to fight like hell to be heard at our own party's convention. What a joke that we even had to demand this right - but at least we got it.
I'm guessing this is the last thing they wanted up there in Chicago. We know they organized state party chairs to make sure the word went out to Hillary's delegates not to sign the nominating petition. But they did and they still are.
We may be a hodge-podge of newbies and novices who've never run campaigns or are even doing this full time. But we're devoted to our cause and our candidate, and we know the difference between right and wrong.
We've got history on our side.
We've got Democracy on our side.
We've got the strongest candidate and the delegates are finally starting to understand that.
No wonder the thugs up in Chicago haven't been able to beat us - our message rings true with too many people. Still... you'd think David Axelrod could figure out how to get around the truth and convince people his lies are worth listening to.
It doesn't give me much hope that he'll be able to beat the GOP in the general election if he can't get around us right now.
Food for thought. |
