WASHINGTON, NOVEMBER 17: John Kerry returned to his default job in the Senate on Tuesday. The man who had hoped to be President is upbeat and optimistic and thrilled to be back—which we know because this is what he tells reporters who ask.

He turns up for a morning strategy meeting with his Democratic colleagues. He whispers something to Senator Pat Leahy in the doorway of the Old Senate Chamber room. He hugs Senators Joe Lieberman and Jon Corzine as the oak doors close behind him. This is how Kerry spends most of his back-to-work day: cloistered, avoiding any semblance of fuss.

It’s been two weeks since Kerry lost to George W. Bush. ‘‘The votes have not all been counted in New Mexico and Ohio,’’ says Kerry’s campaign and Senate spokesman David Wade, who is waiting for Kerry outside the strategy meeting. ‘‘And if you believe some of what you read on the Internet...” Wade is referring to the litany of conspiracy theories about voting irregularities. He says this while rolling his eyes. Message: Kerry is back at work.

2. well that depressed me
seems very negative and dismissive of everything. Been quite a depressing day actually maybe things will pick up but I'm starting to have my doubts after a few days of optimism.

3. All the more reason to keep fighting for what's right
I KNOW it can be discouraging... I have my moments too... but we all have to keep plodding along collecting information, reading it all, and doing whatever we can to make a difference. Write letters, hang signs, pass information on to those you know. Spread the word locally, and it eventually reaches beyond that.

4. And that si why this is not about our lame party, but about our fight for
our democracy. This has nothing to do with Kerry, up till now, he has failed us, but we love our country. We do not want to fail it. Kerry may be lame, but we are not. We fight.
