Thanks for pressing send. Thanks for the reminder that these aren't just abstract popularity contests, but people are voting with pocketbooks, bills, health problems, families. Yes, the conversations here do become abstract and depressingly vicious. I grew up in a Republican household and the Republicans I knew were nice to one another, and mean to liberals. I had to grow up to find out that liberals are mean to eachother, and nice to everyone else.
Good work making phone calls and supporting a cause you care about. Don't let this silly stuff get to you. Good luck. I saw Samantha Power speak a few days ago, and she confirmed to me that the people who work for Obama, with Obama are smart, compassionate, wise and enthusiastic.
Hang in there.
