I think a lot of people who worked for Obama, and for folks like Ellsworth in Indiana 8, were completely dispirited and deflated by the time of the Mass election. Then the SOTU came, and Obama seemed to have kinda recovered his mojo a little, and gradually since then, we saw some 'green shoots' of recovery in spirits, and energy, and enthusiasm. We saw Pelosi and Reid and Obama fight, and stick with it, and get their hands dirty, and it made a difference. And by last week I think a lot of folks were back at it, writing letters, sending emails, making phonecalls, and helping to push these last ten Dems to vote yes rather than no. And today we do feel 'proud of what we have done.'MacLeodCartoonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508412401089448874noreply@blogger.com
