[Dems2008] Re: Do we really want to bury our heads in the sand

Your right in that we should not ignore the primary, but only 12
states haven't voted most the people in this group have already caste
their vote. So now those of us who have must simply wait and see who
will win. On that note I believe there's a third camp composed of
democrats, a majority of them who have already voted who are idly
sitting on the sidelines just wanting for whoever going to win to go
ahead and win ... and I know that it is a BIG camp including most of
Clinton's and Obama's former running mates and their supporters. Ras
most of my post is about preparing our party to move on after the
election, after the nomination of whoever. I'm not trying to get
people to ignore it, that would be impossible. What's the big deal
about trying to smooth over ruff edges and bring people together. I
was and continually try to make people realize that everybody in this
group, and indeed our democratic party, ARE NOT enemies and we
shouldn't be spitting venom in each others faces. The only reason I
brought up issues was to point out that we're not that different and
to offer, however brief, a respite for all the people tired of all
the mudslinging and propaganda. I apoligize for trying to do that.

Thank You,
Brian Causway
