I have little in common with the people from the southern states. Grew up there. Can't say I'm a fan. Especially today. But there is another way. It's using this 4 years to find it and make it work. If that fails buy more guns and lets have a good old fashioned Civil War!

All Democrats should register in the next primary as Republicans. Pick the next Republican candidate. The Republican Party depends on the dumbing-down of the country for their wins. Force them to run an intelligent candidate. Or go the opposite way…go underground. All Democrats should register in the next primary as Republicans. Pick the next Republican candidate.

I don't. They were just better than Bush/Cheney/Corporations. I think the Democrats consistently winnow out the people with the best ideas in an attempt to be moderate and get swing republicans and conservatives, which, we can plainly see, is a losing strategy. Slate has an article about this now - http://slate.msn.com/id/2109128/ - I beat them to it, but I have a different viewpoint. Nyah. I think the democrats need to stop chasing republicans and be fucking liberal. That's not a bad thing. And they might actually win.

I voted for Kerry but also Spector, a moderate Republican. Although I understand your frustration on the outcome of the election, I think you are being a little hard on the Democrats. I am sure there was more they could have done but they as well as their volunteers put on one hell of a fight. I think by having another party you will just see a split between that party and the Democrats, once again leaving victory to the Republicans next time as well. I think somehow the Democrats need to find a way to penetrate some of the southern states. I certainly don't have all the answers but I am not willing to give up on Kerry should he choose to run again in 4 years.
