Believe me, I know how you feel about spending so much time and effort on this election, and ending up being disappointed. I think there are a lot of us out there who feel the same way. But our period of mourning has to be almost over; otherwise, the GOP machine will take over. We can't be afraid to continue to fight. And believe me, the balance will swing the other way in the future. Despite all the talk of liberal vs. conservative, red vs. blue, and idealism vs. cynicism, I know that in the near future, we'll all see that we're not really all that unlike those who voted for the Republic Candidate. That is the principal misunderstanding that has been perpetuated throughout the campaign of 2004. Once the focus turns back to solving problems, we'll see that we all have a lot more in common than it appears to be when we're all too concerned about being right about overly inconsequential issues. And I think that time will come soon.

That is my hope.
