NO MOPING

Did you think this was going to be easy? I know Obama supporters got that false sense of security during their run of wins, but Hillary Clinton is far too savvy a politician to go away without a fight. She has shown herself time and again to be a political Lazarus, and more vicious than a cornered badger when her back is against the wall.
But don't spend your time feeling sorry for yourself and your candidate. I thought your motto was "Yes We Can."
Obama still has the pledged delegate lead, one which he will extend in the next week with victories in Wyoming and Mississippi. But if you want to break Hillary Clinton's back, there is only one way to do it.
WIN PENNSYLVANIA.
You have seven weeks that begin tomorrow. Get out there and fight. Phonebank. If you live near the state, pound the pavement. Either can win, but it's more important for Hillary to win, which means you're going to have to work twice as hard.
If you take a minute for self-pity, it is a minute you are wasting. If we want to have the best candidate, we have to fight for it.
No Moping. Let this reality check strengthen your resolve.
YES WE CAN, goddammit.
