1. In case of electile disfunction...
if you experience an election lasting more than five months, contact your doctor immediately.

13. This is a united front
we cannot take a chance with our future. Enough of the Bush's policies. We have to stay united and strong against the Rovian tactics that the Repubs will use this Fall. I am very happy that the Primary fight is over. We are all winners because we had two wonderful finalists: Obama and Clinton.

17. It's not "neat" here...kind of messy. But they do bring in the back-hoe....
to clean it out every couple of weeks or so.

23. We're electing Generals now?
I thought we just elected Presidents, who then replaced Generals who disagreed with them. My bad.

24. It Gets Worse....
Turns out, we don't even elect Presidents.

We elect electors to the Electrical College. Shocking isn't it?

(And sometimes they can change their minds)

34. I know that you knew that I knew that you were joking.
At least you were here pre-2004 election.

If I had known about it, I wouldn't have bored my friends to tears about the latest polling numbers in Florida & Ohio.

29. same here - I am also new to DU.....
I thought the primary thread was a bit rough at times but this one seems more civil. Perhaps because we are all on the same team now.

31. If you are a Democrat and you like politics...
This is THE place to be.

Plus we have all sorts of other "non-political" groups with a lot a great people participating.

There is no comparison to anywhere else.

35. I am a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat and....
I have been a supporter of Senator Obama since his 2004 convention speech. The first Democratic campaign I worked on was for JFK so I have been around for a good long time. I live in the SW and what has been so heartening about Senator Obama is that more and more people are becoming involved in working for his campaign, especially the younger Hispanics.

38. Thank you, for the kind welcome!
I plan on spending a great deal of time here. As are you, I am thrilled about Senator Obama and the fact that many more Democrats may be able to ride into office on his coattails!!!! :bounce:
