Think someone is or isn't electable?
Can't make a decision about a candidate?
As my dad says (in its polite version): its time to fish or cut bait.
Bait cutters love to analyze, criticise and give lip service to our great democracy; all the while too afraid to drop a hook in because they might not get the biggest fish the first time.
If all the bait cutters who thought Al Gore wasn't electable actually made phone calls or canvased for Gore in the close states, it might have made a difference.
OK. So, its probably apparent that I'm a Dean supporter. I've been working the 'mean' streets for Dean, canvassing door to door.
It may make a difference, it may not. But the next local campaign, I've got some experience and know exactly where the support is. And it builds from there.
The Dem's that drive me nuts are the ones who talk up beating Bush, but won't make a call, knock on a door or stuff an envelope for fear of being humiliated or not winning.
