Just returned from a Dem meet-up in NYC tonight. It was hard to believe that this was the only one in Manhattan and only had 50 people. There were 2 people pushing Clark and 1 guy had a Kucinich T-shirt but that was it for the committed folk. CNN was there to photograph the event but it was way anti-climactic from where I stood.
I had my DKOS sticker on my name-tag but found no one else there. The weird thing is that I was defending Dean all night, even though I'm not decided. What is wrong with this party that everyone is playing Tuesday/Wednesday morning Quarterback instead of digging in their heels and just believing in the cause.
We're up against a horrible and well financed machine and if we're not together we will be steamrolled. The media will only exacerbate things so we can't count on anyone but ourselves and each other for truth here.
Let's stick together. There are going to be loads of twists and turns over the next 4 months so let's not start predicting dire anythings so early. Bush is going down, no doubt about it.
The one thing that stays with me tonight is the concept of Keeping Up With the Jones'. What is going on with the sheep mentality? Don't run to the next hot thing. Believe in yourself and in us. It's as simple as that. If you lose faith in whatever you believe in, you're lost.
