6. As importantly, in a multi-stage contest, it's not necessary to win every stage to win the contest..
... In fact, almost no contest winner wins every stage. Ask Lance Armstrong.

18. Right.
The road to Pennsylvania Ave is a loooong one. There is no room for the faint at heart.

Us parents need to help our kids understand the long range goals.

I wasn't sure before, but your comments here banish the question.

14. It's true. You have to let your heart shrivel up and rot to deal with politics w/o getting
emotional about it.

I'm 24 years old and more than once while phone banking, people's "Obama is a muslim" bullshit comments made me shed tears of frustration.

WOW just WOW

Never ever ever did I think this was possible. I used the smilie thing because "Are were THERE yet?" was too partisan, to pro-Obama so I went with a general nondescript :-(

Who coulda thunk it???

38. The kid just looks tired
who would haul a young kid to a late evening rally? Don't they have school the next day? Or is "Post-Pennsylvania-Primary" a school holiday in Indiana?

I can't tell from the picture if the kid is sad, but sure looks worn-out.

45. Dreams
Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
