But I don't think that will be enough (let's see how that catharsis works). 2012 probably starts Tuesday.
Yep. I'm still voting for this ticket but there are plenty of other Hillary supporters that aren't. They are referring to themselves as PUMA (Party Unity My Ass). Then there are the folks in Michigan and Florida who feel they were disenfranchised by that primary debacle. Howard Dean did a good job with the House and Senate races in '06 but he needs to be run out of the party if he thinks this is a good ticket. I'd walk down the street and tell him so but I just passed a bunch of cops in full riot gear at Speer and Zuni. And the Secret Service is parked down the street again.
