Sitting here following the election results and other news when the phone rang...a machine recording inviting me to come out to hear John Kerry tomorrow afternoon...
Yes folks, the St. Louis Democratic Party machine has thrown their weight behind Kerry. I suspect similar calls are happening right now in Kansas City, only for Edwards supporters since the mayor of KC went with Edwards...and if you think electing either one of them will bring any kind of real change to our political system (yeah, yeah, either of them would be better than Bush but they would not mean structural change), I want some of what you are smoking...
As for me, I might go hear Kerry (or Edwards who will also be in St. Louis tomorrow), but since I have about 2000 doors to knock for Dean in my precinct, I may just not have enough time...me and a hundred or so Dean volunteers up against the regular party apparatus...I am thinking the Seven Samuri...
If I do go, though, I will drop y'all here at Kos a line about it...P.S. think I should take a Dean sign with me?
