..I think we had the best ground game ever. I think more people wanted change. I think Kerry was a fine candidate (no one will be perfect in every instance of a 24 month campaign-including Bush.) I honestly think we were electronically robbed and bullied and suppressed. These are the real problems - not the Democratic soul searching, not being more Christian, not moving, etc. If we don't get a handle on the real problems, it won't matter how we define ourselves and improve our GOTV. One look at the incredibly long voter lines in minority communities (we should be actively and publicly "shaming" the State heads that allowed this to occur), the consistent high rate of vote "spoilage" in minority communities, the unexplainable discrepancies in the exit polling, the MASSIVE disappearance of absentee ballots from democratic areas thru the mail, etc. THIS IS THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW. We can focus on party improvement LATER.
(more below the fold)
I would love to see this community focussed purely on voter fraud/organized suppression/thuggery to expose and shame as many as possible before the inauguration. Unless we are successful in shining a bright light on this - the future elections are already lost. Please send any amount to blackboxvoting.org, let's get the LTEs going, let's start harrassing the Hell out of the State election heads, etc. We need more people questioning this election before January. Help make Bush look like the questionable fraud he is.
