the outcome of this contest.

This morning, I called my mom and let her be happy for her candidate. ("Hi, Mum. How did your candidate do last night?"). She was so thrilled to see a woman win a primary.

We should all be able to enjoy this race on that level. It is our right.

But it isn't reality. And I don't know about you, but I'm not willing to sit here as blindly as I did in 2000 and wait until I'm presented with the fact of a Bush before I start asking the best questions I can.

You can't work for change until you look hard and long and see how degraded our elections have become. You can't work for change until you can assess the need for change. You can't work for change unless you are willing to see problems and deal with them.

This isn't about a primary. Most of us are willing to work for the Democrat, no matter who that turns out to be.

This is about the general election, run on the same system with no transparency, with no real accountability, with no monitors. I don't want to go three for three. Do you?
