There are a lot of unsung heroes today. Let's remedy this. Who do YOU want to personally thank?

[Aloha Spirit]

I'll start it off:

THANK YOU

*** jake3463 ***

Many times since December you inspired me to turn away from the news and actually reach out to voters.
You are one righteous dude. (I assume. Not having met you, it's possible you're a 9 year old Icelander or whatever.)

1. Hey nine year old Icelanders can be righteous

And usually very clean from all that geo-thermal steam.

[YDogg]

2. madfloridian. for keeping it real.

[Aloha Spirit]

6. Very true... All you Florida peeps..... I bow down to you.

[blm]

8. and the Election Reform folks for keeping the alarms sounded and all of us on alert.

BushInc KNEW this election would be hard to steal, especially the presidency.

[treestar]

3. The campaign volunteers nt

[Aloha Spirit]

7. Does that mean we're all White House volunteers now? ;-)

[blm]

4. Three Ds and a K. Daschle, Durbin and Kerry believed there was no way for Dems to get ahead while

Clintons and their loyalists controlled the Dem party. They united around Obama early on - earlier than media ever caught on - and Kerry turned over his national organization to work for Obama (minus the Clinton loyalists who left for HRC2008, they joined well with Obama's people).

With Dean as head of DNC they would have a Dem party machine working for ALL Dem candidates and voters in every state, and not just being held in place for when TeamClinton needed it.

Dean, Daschle, Durbin and Kerry - the best front line a Dem nominee could have.

5. Ted and Caroline Kennedy, Bill Richardson, and John Lewis.

For nudging the Democrats back on a road they can be proud of.

9. Ben Affleck

for putting his bad mojo on McStain by endorsing him on SNL last week!

So many DUers who offered so much encouragement to get out and MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

And baby, TINA FEY for the spot on impersonation and AMY POHLER for that rap to die for.

[Aloha Spirit]

10. Big ups to Tina Fey! "B**ch is the new black" is one of my favorite lines from the primaries ...

as well as the Tracy follow up...
Black is the new President!

11. Keith Obermann

who got the ball rolling. He took a big chance, went out on a limb, and took on Bushco. He really came through for us in a big way.

[Aloha Spirit]

12. Agree with hesitation.... wish he limited his comments to Bush and the Republicans. But looking at

cable news now, there is a trend there that didn't exist before Olbermann.

[blm]

14. Yes - when he started his Special Comments in summer 2006 it was a HUGE advance for truth which had

been noticeably absent in the corpmedia since 1998. All Dems needed was even a LITTLE airtime that would allow the truth to be heard. We can win with only 75% of corpmedia protecting BushInc. Difficult to claim a Dem win when 90% of corpmedia is carrying BushInc's water.

[leeann1317]

13. To everyone who volunteered or donated to the campaign!!!

[joop]

15. ooooh, I forgot--the pranksters at the Canada radio station

that 6 minute prank call had to swing a few thousand undecideds our way.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

16. I've always admired this Senator and have thought he deserved more recognition

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clair_Engle

His bravery and courage during his dying days played a role in ensuring the passage the landmark civil rights legislation of 1964. I think we should be profoundly grateful to him for the legacy that he helped leave us

[Aloha Spirit]

18. Wow, SD1981, you pointed the spotlight to a telling moment in the arc of our country's history.

The legislature may just become relevant again.

[Aloha Spirit]

17. We should also bow down to Bob Barr. He helped the dream spread to INDIANA!
