We should not put all of our eggs or hopes in one basket....

It is very easy to get discouraged when we work so hard for a candidate and he does not win. The Gephardt supporters are feeling that today. They are in worse condition mentally than the Dean people. We cannot allow them to sink into some apathetic state where they do not wish to vote next November. We need to keep up the energy and the interest in order to defeat George W Bush. We need all the supporters of all the candidates to win. Especially the ones that will fall by the wayside. They need to know that they have a home with another candidate and that they are needed to defeat this present regime in the WH. We cannot let them use the old strategy of "divide and conquer". We must stay united and respect each and every candidate and their supporters. The damage that may be done may be irreparable unless we reach out to these folks at this time.

1. A bit of humbling is good for us all occasionally

Senator Kerry knows that well after all he began as the front runner and had an upstart come in and humble him. Now turn-about is fair play. If only they would learn to focus on the positive and let the negative stuff come from the bad guys. Tightening up of the race can only be good for Democrats and for democracy. It is possible we will see a Kerry/Edwards ticket. Not my first pick but will gladly vote for such.

2. Do not place much credence in Iowa.

NH is a very different creature. From here out, the real fun begins. We should get a much clearer picture of what Democratic voters want,
