in defeat…a victory.
Oh cruel country. Defeat is a horse pill to large to swallow this morning. Last night, when all the cards were shown, and our opponents arm swept across the table to pocket all the chips, it appears, we democrats were bluffing. And now, we’ve handed over the keys to our home AND our lake cabin to the great elephant. Painfully, we must live in the shit piles our giant guest will leave around our home.

So what does 2004 look like and how do we get there? Can we find a new breed of candidate? The old school democrats, our pasty white big names and family name successors, lost big yesterday. Mondale, Humphrey, both down in a blaze of glory. Will we settle for old names (H. Clinton or A. Gore) in 2004 or can we breath some new raw energy into this mess?

Can we organize better? Can we come correct with a clear and poignant message? Can the message have new ideas? New fashions? New hats?!? Can we start today? We’ve won with optimism before we need to stick with optimism today. You can be the record or you can be the DJ.

Technology laws and the lawmakers who support them.
