2. I listened to it and it just seemed to be a thank you message to Kaine and |

Organizing for America and to all of us that knocked on doors and made phone calls. And oh yeah -- the next two years are going to be hard. At least that was all I heard.

Of course it was before this election and since 2008, but now they've got cover to run further to the right and pretend like it's all the GOP's fault for the predicament that they are in.

4. Thanks for writing this up. As to getting a message to Obama here is my idea |

My Rep is a good progressive, and one of my Senators is a very good Liberal (Tom Harkin). I am going to call both of their offices and have a heart to heart about what I hope Obama will do.

I have to think about it a little more
