I'm a New York City Democratic District Leader who ran for office after 9/11 (I live only blocks away from Twin Towers). Worked very hard for Kerry, very hard for local Dems. But my spirits are low as I see our national leaders (Reid and Pelosi in particular) fail and fail and fail again to bring our message OUT in a coherent way. We are, again, again, again failing to take advantage of the Bush collapse. Get off your egos. Compromise. Speak as ONE, not many. The American People await another choice.
