We've only just begun.
They have spent the past 40 years building a conservative infrastructure.  It includes think tanks, right-wing newspapers, Fox News, and hate radio on thousands of radio stations.  Twenty-four hours a day of right-wing propaganda, all over the country.

And yet, we still got 48%.

Think about that for a minute.  Think about MoveOn, DFA, and ACT.  Think about Air America.  Think about Daily Kos, for God's sake!

Forty years ago, when the modern conservative movement started, Barry Goldwater lost in a landslide.  Today, as the modern progressive movement is just starting, Kerry lost by 3%.

We are in a better position today than they were back then.  We just have to keep building, and we will win eventually.  

This is just the beginning.
