42. It's everyone's fault if we don't
This blame-game idiocy should be at an end, but of course it's not.

We have had the strongest slate of candidates running since 1960 and instead of looking at that, we've allowed this to become about us and the candidate -- not about the country.

This country is in a seriously bad way and it's not moving in the correct direction, yet... here we go again. If we don't win it's 'blah's' fault.

We are the larger of the two parties.
The economy and the war in iraq are issues that favor us.

How about if we try focusing on getting our collective acts together, stop whining about 'If we lose in November' and move on.

More people are swayed by what a friend, neighbor or co-worker says about a topic, then what a politician says.

Fact is...
If we lose it's because the Dems didn't get out in force and vote.
If we lose it's because we didn't get out there and talk to people.
If we lose it's because we didn't get people to the polls.

It's NOT because of Clinton or Obama
