Our candidates in Iowa are doing us all PROUD!
Folks, this is democracy in action. They are giving it their all, pouring their hearts and soul into Iowa. The excitement is palpable.

What a contrast to Bush! Democracy is still alive in the USA!

16. TV media, talk shows, and BBV -TV media, talk shows, and BBV
It doesn't matter how great a message/candidate we have if the media spin and lie as they did in 2000.

Whoever the nominee is, the candidate and his staff and all elected democrats and we ourselves must hit back at once to counter each and every lie and spin.

And we need people at every precinct to check what's going on with the machines.

And perhaps special aides ('squeeky clean middle-aged, middle-class white types') in all lower income, predominantly lower income and minority precincts to be sure there's no harrassment and discrimination.

And take video cameras and tape recorders. Remember all those people on discussion groups who kept demanding 'proof' that blacks had been kept from voting in FL and GA? Who takes cameras to vote?? Now we know we all should.

12. Hey Arewethereyet
I agree ... it has been a long time on this road and it has finally paying off. I hope his momentum (if it shows on Monday) will pick him up in NH. South Carolina could be a clincher, although Clark is going to complicate Edwards path.

Regardless ... all of the Democrats are doing great and motivating the democratic base. Even if the convention is brokered, the Democrats will unite to beat the BFEE.

14. if, and it is still if he does this well, Clark won't matter back home
we love native sons down here, especially if they are triumphant ones

Clark is losing momentum having skipped all this. All the press has to say about NH is how damn cold it is there.

I'm pumped! No way the KKKRove crowd is happy this weekend, plus that poll released on CBS about bush.

Steady as she goes, this might get rough.

17. It WILL get rough.
BushCo is fighting for its life. And the right to kill any one of us at will. By preventive detention, poisonous food, air, water, land, by war....

Let's not pretend this fight isn't about life and death. Of us. Of our nation.
