HEY!

KNOCK IT OFF -

This board looks like a party that is in pure PANIC.

JUST STOP IT.
We lost one, brush it off.

We are all splitting off in different directions, talking about replacing people, blaming people....YEAH we lost this one, mistakes were made. Perhaps some in our party, hasn't a grasp of the importance of this election. We have to find a way to communicate this to them.

Keep your eye focused. We have work to do, more work than we thought 48 hours ago.

I had a brief moment of anger and bitterness. I even thought about not bothering to vote, yeah I went there. But then I thought; that would be playing into their hands, they want to suppress the vote, what better way?

Then I wondered how many people last night or today, feel the same way? How many people are going to not bother voting?

We have a lot of work to do.

We have to treat this election like it is the last one. We have to knock on doors, tell others. We have to really work for this. I want future historians calling this Generation, the Greatest.

After sleeping most of the day I feel better now. You're right. We lost a battle, but the war wages on.

Election Day a holiday, with festive activities, cook outs, school holiday. Call it Election/Evolution Day and make it a bash. Let's make them play our game of Evolution so at least even if they are Repukes, they MUST evolve, or they won't be on the ballot. Make it appealing to young voters, and future voters. It's our only hope.
