So, you say you want a revolution

Which states do we now need to turn, to assure the end of this little tin pot dictatorship?

Now is the time to focus. Today should be marked down in our collective diary as the beginning of our revolution. Yes, I said REVOLUTION.

Tonight, we've proven we CAN overcome the odds. Let us remember this lesson, and let us repeat it next year, and again in 2008. Let us now begin to take our country back, and return it to its tradition of liberty and world-wide trust.

There was a time the world came to us when trouble reared its ugly head. Now we ARE the ugly head. I think it's time to change that.

--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.--

--when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Shall we begin?

Good example of a site designed to help Dems with strategy. We need many more like this!

These were statewide issues; there weren't any compelling statewide candidates up for office.

When I voted in '04 in Ohio, I waited in line for 45 minutes. I was harrassed by poll workers. It was rough-and-tumble. Today, I was the only voter at the polls in prime time.

In '06, we'll be fired up, voting to evict Dewine and choose someone to replace that miserable failure of a governor of ours, Bob Taft.

Give us another chance. The country needs Ohio, and you know it.

I personally shook the dust of it off my feet long since, and never looked back.

Giving up on Ohio in '06 equals progressive suicide, for the reasons I've outlined above, and for all the reasons one can find in detail in the DU-Ohio Forum.

Ohio remains, in my opinion, our best bet "flip" state in '06 and '08.

But, dust off your feet, and do as you wish.

ETA: What happened to your state-by-state call out in your original post?

And we have to concentrate on keeping IL blue. With their reject of a governor, they could go either way in the near future. We also need to be thinking about keeping West Virginia on track, too.

But Colorado needs to be a focus.

CO has a strong Dem community, very active and networked in a way that's just amazing. Give us money, give us bodies (from other Western States, please, however) and let us organize ourselves and we can turn out this state. (However, sending in campaign operatives from the East Coast who don't understand Western Democrats and forcing us to let them take over loses us elections.)

...especially Florida & Ohio.

and we have to concentraete on all fifty states, period!
