The truth about 2006 Democratic victories, it was a team effort and there is no I in team

DUers I'm sick of this shit! Let's quit our damned infighting, regroup (hey you guys WE WON!) and prepare for two things, Democratic control over both houses of Congress and winning the White House in 2008. What is pissing me off is DUers are fighting about who was responsible, I have news for you all, every Democrat from elected official, to party leaders, to big dollar donors to the grass/netroots was responsible. This Dean v. Emanual v. Schumer v. Pelosi v. Reid v. DLC v. PDA/DFA v. MoveOn.org v. everyone else crap has to stop.

Dean ran a successful 50 state strategy and lead the party.

Emanuel recruited and backed a great slate of candidates, even making an impact in losing efforts causing the GOP to stretched its resources far and wide.

Schumer recruited and backed a great slate of candidates, even making an impact in losing efforts causing the GOP to stretched its resources far and wide.

MoveOn.org, PDA/DFA and the grass/netroots blogged, volunteered, contributed and got out the vote.

Terry Terry McAuliffe was there to debate Mehlman when necessary.

Carville, Begala, Lockhart, Pinetta and others that many DUers tell to STFU fought the good fight on the airwaves and provided much needed behind the scenes counsel.

Pelosi and Reid lead their respective caucuses in a manner that gave voters confidence in Democrats as viable alternative to Republicans.

The Democratic Senate leaders who kept Lieberman with the caucus giving us control.

Clark, Kerry, Obama and Bill Clinton lent their star power to boost our candidates.

The list goes on.

Will everyone quit their bickering on DU (I can't stop the insiders from fighting) and just realize the EVERYONE played a role in this and all of them came together to give us victory.

Come folks quit the infighting and prepare to support our Democratic men and women as they take control over Congress and lay the ground work for victory in 2008.
