Jack, I agree with your analysis of where the race stands and I share your frustration with 23 excuses for 23 contests, but sometimes I wish you'd try to make your posts a little more educational and a little less confrontational. We're rapidly reaching the point where we're going to need to be united as a party.
Noah,
for a long time I was all about education (I ot bashed a bit for my "Barack Obama" thread where I listed his accomplishments and placed his speeches) and called for Democratic unity, being all conciliatory, etc
I got beat up a lot - which is ok, politics ain't beanbag -
part of what you confrontational is not at all, I am just stunned and celebrative at watching history play out
part of what you call confrontational is, because politics ain't beanbag and after months of stuff, I am in a mood to hand some stuff back
give me a day or two to get back to being all conciliatory - and if you want some pure education, dredge up some of my threads of the past several months
I hear what you are saying, and appreciative that you say it - as I am appreciative of all your posts since you seem like a cool guy who posts with wisdom -
I will be more gracious in a day or two but after all the shit of the last several months I am still in the political mode of those who have slammed Obama and Obama's supporters (which was essentially just me here for the longest while it seemed)
but a happy part of my mood is history being made - I have been on some roads a long time and Barack Obama just win Virginia, Maryland, DC - it was in my teen aged years that the Supreme Court finally struck down the Virginia law that made marriage between blacks and whites illegal and I have been tear gassed and such along the way and we have come to a place where Obama wins Virginia and Maryland and South Carolina and Georgia and Kansas and Missouri and North Dakota and what this means to me, that we have come this far, I can't explain or contain my jubilation
