1. The phrase "forward-looking"

Doesn't instill me with much confidence. Then again, who is daoureport.com?

5. "Foward looking" and "Forward Thinking" are two terms

the Bushies love using. It usually means "We're doing this even if the whole country thinks it's a bad idea. And because we can."

7. Right. There are dozens of unanswered questions about the legitimacy

of the 2004 election. The time to seek answers to those questions is now.

Now isn't the time to be 'forward-looking,' however upbeat that phrase may seem.

9. No. It's a site run by a respected DU'er who did some work for the Kerry

campaign and was very effective in debunking stories before they got legs such as the claim that Kerry had an affair with an intern.

This could be anything

Maybe he's asking us to support our local dems or to ask us to reach out to republicans.

OR IN DREAM LAND...

he will say he has evidence George Bush stole the election and he is asking for recounts and for bush to quit or face an angry nation....

6. Or something in between

"I feel your pain." (ugh, Clinton is still in my doghouse. Wrong phrase.)

We shall see.

4. Well, people have been wondering why we haven't been contacted...

So good, we're being contacted. I hope I'm still on that list. I aven't really gotten anything since the concession.

10. For what?

I can't imagine what he wants from people. He's given the impression that the election is over. Is he trying to garner support for another run? He's got a tough row to hoe on that, in my opinion.

12. Reach away, baby! But talk fast!

I'll listen, but not if it's all about 2008.

Like that year will even happen if B** has his way!

14. All you have to do is read all the other posts to see why we lose

People's support of a candidate is an inch deep.
