I've said this in another thread already, but VillageVoice summed things up pretty well this morning:

Its easier to vote for the kid who steals lunch money than it is for the kid who got his lunch money stollen

The Dems have some work to do. As a Dem, I hope we can find a way to sell our message without resorting to stealing. I'd hate to see that happen.

Even though 54 million of my fellow Americans voted for the Democratic ticket this year, I can't help but feel out of place in this country. I don't go to Church, I don't support the war, I have gay friends who I think deserve to be recognized and protected. I don't own a gun or a big SUV, I support the environment, and my family has had an incredibly hard time living the American dream.

54 million Americans feel the way I do, but today I don't feel represented. This has to change.
