3. We keep seeking out and encouraging

people who share a liberal vision. There are millions of us out there. Probably enough to bring another democratic President into office. Find them and take sustenance with them. That's why I love this group and the African American group and take heart when I find other friends here. I know I'm not alone.

Some who are also inspired by President Obama, we can find in our daily lives. Some serve in office now, some are running for elections, and the ones I'm most optimistic about will eventually serve in high offices.

I don't listen to any of the pundits for the same reasons you describe. They're less than useless.

I know how you feel. I do take solace knowing people like you are as furious about the things you describe as I am. We're in the majority (though I know, it doesn't always feel like it).
