After Gore, after Kerry, the wee hours changes in electoral votes, the challenges, recounts, chads, and Supreme Court decisions, all resulting in nothing short of catastrophe for much of what America used to stand for.

My inner South -side Chicago family has been Democratic , for years. I saw and experienced fractured Democrats. I am a woman and feminist , who has lived here in Columbia, sc for 30 years. I was a delegate, that did not get picked to go to Denver. If I had gone, I would have pleaded, reasoned, begged and not have slept until I convince ALL Democrats to "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE". Support Obama, get unified . NO McBush (McCain). Hello! If you do not support Obama, You are throwing away your vote to McBuch(McCain). Do NOT dissapoint all us , who could not go. Get it together!
