Even the most innocent sounding diary titles today are degenerating into name calling partisan primary wars.
It's all over but the voting, so step back and let it happen.
Kos needs to prepare to enforce anti conspiracy theory rules on both sides by evening.
The ignorance about the process and the variations in each state are one of the things that are floating to the top today despite all the detailed and informative post from various regional and state specific activists.
Just wait and see. There will be time tomorrow to excoriate the silly brainless supporters of (insert candidate here).
So for your reading and listening pleasure here are a few links to audio and text reminders of what we all are fighting for.

Intro description of archives of Franklin Roosevelt's Annual Address to Congress - The "Four Freedoms"
January 6, 1941
Franklin Roosevelt was elected president for an unprecedented third term in 1940 because at the time the world faced unprecedented danger, instability, and uncertainty. Much of Europe had fallen to the advancing German Army and Great Britain was barely holding its own. A great number of Americans remained committed to isolationism and the belief that the United States should continue to stay out of the war, but President Roosevelt understood Britain's need for American support and attempted to convince the American people of the gravity of the situation.
In his annual address to Congress on January 6, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt presented his reasons for American involvement, making the case for continued aid to Great Britain and greater production of war industries at home. In helping Britain, President Roosevelt stated, the United States was fighting for the universal freedoms that all people possessed. As America entered the war these "four freedoms" - the freedom of speech, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want, and the freedom from fear - symbolized America's war aims and gave hope in the following years to a war-wearied people because they knew the were fighting for freedom.
