Yes we can repair this world...



... because I can't wait for this election to be over. And the days, weeks and months of advocating for your nominee not because they are the ONLY choice but because they are the RIGHT choice. And though I understand those Blue State v. Red State emails that go around, I can't stand them because I have been that itty bit of blue in a red state; I have been that election protector; I have done that canvassing in my neighborhood of rather disenfranchised people; I have been that person who started and ended the campaign with you in my city; I have been that person that person who was drunk and crying at 4 a.m. discussing what we did wrong even though we hadn't even technically lost; and those emails are discounting all of the work all the progressive people do in Alabama, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Arizona. And there are lots of us.

I have spent a lot of time volunteering - much like 2004 - but less like 2004. Its an emotional roller coaster - wanting us to win - but waiting. Patience is a virtue. Just not one of mine. Which is why I volunteer - to satisfy the need I have to make a difference - immediately.
So when impatience takes over...

I watch this video.

It's nearing an end. I am an optimist. I voted for an optimist. I'm all about hope. 2009 will be our year.
