    I'm afraid ... I'm afraid ... I'm afraid ...

    brought to you by the people who brought you GW & you are buying right into it.

    Sometimes, idealism DOES win elections ... like tonight ... and it is a beautiful thing.

    Don't some of you people get it that the safe approach has been a failure for the democrats for too long -- being afraid ... trying ot look like psuedo-Republicans ...

    c'mon - wake up! - we have a chance for something GREAT here.

    When will democrats ever learn that that self-questioning constipation is jUST what the Republicans want & it is playing right into their hands!
