You try so hard but you don't understand

"Because something is happening here
But you don't know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?"

I don't pretend to understand. Generational change is unpredictable. But when a DU'er's son, who never had the slightest interest in politics, goes out, speaks his mind and ends up a delegate, something is happening. Grassroots. Howard Dean's message "You have the power" has taken root.

We have a state like Nebraska, which few Dems have ever taken seriously, showing at this stage that a majority may be prepared to vote Democratic in the GE. God bless you, Chairman Dean.

2. Psst, I'm a delegate, too. And, so are two coworkers, all in different precincts.
So,so, so cool that people are getting involved.

BTW, I'm a delegate for Mark Udall, for his senate race. :-)

3. Revealing. no interest in politics before now...and now he's ready
to solve the country's problems cause gee, it's so easy. But youth is always right. Pay no attention to history. Don't read any well-researched tomes about what happened when and why. Turn up the Ipod and walk right into the GOP ambush.
