So back in 2004, after it had been clear we had been led by an idiot for four years, I was positive that the country would elect John Kerry and we could start working our way out of this mess.

We all know how that turned out. This time, even though the climate is right for us, we have chosen to make things more difficult for ourselves. We are trying to elect a black man president.

There are many out and out racists in this country who will not vote for him. There are some of Hillary's supporters who are too angry and will not vote for him. There are a large group of religious conservatives who would (and did) elect a chimp as long as it was anti-choice.

This election is by no means assured. We cannot afford to get comfortable. It is time to roll up our sleeves and get to work - the future of our country depends on it.
