...I'm reminded, reading this, that this discussion board isn't really a campaign, but rather, a community of like interests, much like our Democratic coalition, and folks here deserve something more than the vitriol we often rightly direct at pols and political operatives.

That also reminds me that we're in that period you've spoken of before as vital to our efforts to bring about a more progressive legislature, as well as the presidency. Our primary's our only chance to make that imprint, and it's no surprise to find folks who are firm in their individual choices. There's always hope we can come together after these partisan contests and remember that our progressive issues and concerns stand the best chance of advancing through the legislative process through the unity of our Democratic coalition of like interests.
