"How the Mainstream Press Bungled the Single Biggest Story of the 2012 Campaign"

17. You are going for the "Simplicity" rather than the "Complicated."

I wish I could be like you...and not have the nightmares I have and the urges I have that I wish I could have done more...and all I tried to do...it just wasn't enough. All that WE here TRIED and WORKED so HARD to do.

But...I would hope to get to your view so that I could sleep better at night and not go to my grave thinking that...I missed some stone unturned and something else I could have done when I worked and tried hard to keep my State from going down the terrible path it has.

My state is the state where the Dem Party Convention was held. Obama lost in my state. It wasn't because of the Progressive Democrats...it was because of the lack of support for us after the Dean/Kucinich movement.

you won't want to hear that...but, an on the ground Dem..is telling you this. A worker in the Dem Party...who worked to get NC Ballot Reform and the Machines out of as many precincts in NC that we could after 2004... An Activist....An Activist for the Dem Party.

We Dem Progressive Activists worked and worked but the DLC worked also. It wasn't a successful mix.

I remember shaking Emmanuel's hand at a big Dem Poo Bah Thingy at the Raleigh, NC Hilton. What a DUDE HE WAS...how confident and how secure. His "security" and
"handlers" in the background but close enough to protect him.

You have to realize that many DU'ers have been out there involved in our party and we are not clueless or easily manipulated.
