The Invisible Comments of Bongo Prophet
Oh, this is really a well done Clinton campaign video that was posted last year. It is a must see, and was given great reviews by some of our favorite DUers! Thanks, guys!

I do agree with the Clinton campaign that caucusing is not as hard as exercising. But more importantly, it is a great party builder, a grass roots organizing tool AND a way to meet your democratic neighbors! I love my new "caucus" buddies, both Clinton and Obama supporters. We will fight the GOP this November, side by side! Yes We Will!

Remember.
Exercising is hard.
Singing is hard.
Dancing is hard.
Caucusing is easy!

Hey, I realize you will be pumped, and rightly so. Or disappointed.
Whether candidate X wins or loses,tonight and in the following races - it is time to start being bigger people -gracious winning (or losing for that matter) will go a long way in helping us pull together for the general.
If we wait until the ritual make up sex of the convention, so much time will be lost, with hard feelings and other psychic damage.
Rather, we could use that time in more civil fashion, spending time on strategies and honing OUR OWN candidates, and learning to persuade and engage. Not snark and invective.
Better training for the general, you know?
Certainly we want our final candidates to not be so bloodied that it weakens them.
That certainly is my goal, and theoretically the goal of most of us here.
At least-- the ones who aren't here just for the "game" that is.

I mostly keep out of the vicious vortex in the primary, and then try to help bring us together for the changes we need.
That is my role and personality, just as yours is candidate advocacy.

The best samurai is a polite samurai.

I guarantee, good manners and decency will help your candidate, especially at this stage going into the heavy emotional fights to come.
Shouting for people to eat crow or other childish taunts only injure and do not help your candidate or our collective causes.
Plus, it is just damn rude.


After all, we are all human here, (right?) trying strike a path out of this quagmire of neocon madness.
The exact course we should take, we the people will decide.
For smart and stupid reasons, people will choose.
Both infuriating and inspiring, this crazy democratic process.

When we get through the convention, the work to repudiate the Bush era and strike that new path begins with the worthy challenge of KICKING THE GOP's ASSES.
We will do it TOGETHER, with former foes at our side.
Keep that in mind.
Sorry for stating the obvious, but it had to be said. Again.
Some of you are new to this process, welcome.
I look forward to working with you all for our DEMOCRATIC candidate.
So get ready, folks.



Finally, a promise for you kids who so love to do battle.......
THERE WILL BE GOBLINS AND DRAGONS APLENTY,
for ALL you bright Dem warriors to hack and to slay.
Strike a bold course into the future, HooRay!

This is going to be epic.

^_^
Happy days soon come
