To all of those who want to argue that "Obama is done" or that "Superdelegates will see how wounded Obama is for the general" or that "so and so is more electable", I have this to say.
No, I won't argue about the specifics of these claims although I certainly could or would. I have a very very very very simple message, more general, that I wish we had listened to in 2004 and that I hope we will listen to this year.
I refuse to let what the Republicans will say or do determine the nominee my party chooses ! I refuse to let the fact speeches can be sliced and diced in damaging soundbites by swiftboat Republicans be the criteria by which we decide if a phenomenal speech is phenomenal or not !
Let's grow some balls ! It is undeniable they will use Wright. And we will fight back and we will win. And if Hillary is the nominee, they will use Whitewater/Foster/PuertoRicanTerrorists or what not, and we will fight back and we will win.
I have had enough of letting THEM decide what is acceptable or not and who is acceptable or not and I have had enough of making decisions and votes in fear of what they will say or think or how they will spin it.
It is not OK in the Senate and the House and it is not OK at the convention and it is not OK at the ballot place. That is not how to make a decision.
I will certainly not live in fear of the Republicans and let that make us choose a candidate that I don't think will be the best President.
And none of us should.
