AMEN! Well 'said' and well done!

It truly was one for all and all for one!

Thank you. Rec'd.

Thank you! I agree! I wasn't really aware though that infighting had started. I wasn't worried about it either. Maybe I should be. It is natural, and inevitable. But we are so much better off, as a loose configuration of progressives, than we were before we went through the last year together.

The reason I am optimistic about our ability to sustain some sort of cohesian (while similtaneously focusing on issues as we chose), is because of the personal connections I have seen made. In my work as a full time volunteer in Florida and Ohio (and also in PA during the primary and my fundraising and phone calling in NYC) had many moments of individual connection - a vibrant debate, look of recognition, help given, help recieved, teamwork, words of kindness, gratitude, acknowledgement of common hopes and fears. These moments were with all the people you've described. All ages and cultural backgrounds, and from all over the country. My capacity to "stick together" as you put it with pepole different from myself has grown immensely through these experiences. And while not everybody went to another state to campaign, I believe these experiences, or more subtle moments of common purpose between obama supporters across the world, will send waves throughout the country. Nah, we won't all get along. But we are certainly more likely to than we were a year ago.

Actually crotchety former supporters of Hillary provided the margin of victory, so you are all very, very welcome!!! :)

Actually, I am solely responsible for Obama's victory.

Well if we want to name the one person who did the most to help Obama win this election lets give credit where its due. Cause really, she deserves to be honored for her work. Sarah Palin. No one person did more to move moderate republicans, independents, and on the fence democrats to Obama than Sarah.
