I am as thrilled as anyone (except at intrade for not accepting my cc's on the last day).
I followed everything kept my father sane by looking at precincts.
But that was last night. Citizens United Still Stands.
Josh Mandel, a candidate who never should have won. got too close. Because of $.
There is more coming. We need to remember. We need to plan, not celebrate like 08.
I took from the President work begins now. For him it ends a bit in 4 years.
For us I see 4 years from now even harder. Ironic, if Obama makes the Country work, Romney makes maybe 120 million instead of 110. The point? They are still getting rich. 100 million may not deter McMahon.
And Citizens United will not be overturned. Let's not forget that. They laid out a blueprint in Ohio.
It's up to all of us to fight it. We did this time, but what if it's 10 states next time?
We gotta keep on Our tows. Keep Writing, whatever. Asking for reform. I don't want to have that psycho who picks candidates, directs all the $, and then is an analyst who almost gets a news channel to change their call, realizing well if 30 million got us within single digits, 70 should do it. For all we know he ran a crap candidate on purpose to prove he could get that much of the vote.
I put nothing past them. So we should not either. It is November 7, 2012. It was a pleasure leading up until November 6, 2012. The sky is not falling today (unless no one addreses global warming glad PBO did in Acceptance), but it may start when we realize they didn't realize they are better off buying yachts than votes.
Not much of a Diary, and I think everyone knows. Just we NEED to remember. Also, that we'd have lost the Senate if not for the Idiot tea party (lesson to us and them Better D's in SAFE seats).
Can't start soon enough. Especially when time is on our side (as are the best interests of most in the Country, and the best ideas), but despite that and much much more going for us (and despite their possible implosion looking demographically)
money will be there's. No one can convince me McMahon losing so much discourages anyone. Anyone that rich thinks, "I'd do a better job". So more will come. Let's not wait til 2015 to deal with. Let's start now. How? I wish I knew beyond calling and discussing.
