Too many of us dropped completely out in so many ways. When we woke up and looked around, it was the "me decade" and "they" were back in control. We lost the energy, the solidarity of the 60's and 70's. Looks as if the wave is building anew, though.

My youngest, who is in his 30's, worked the polls yesterday. He reads liberal authors. He cares about others. Last night, after the victory party, he says, "You know, I think I'd like to get into this a little deeper". There are many like him to be mentored.

I'm 28.  Most of my friends are between 25-32, and not a one is to the right of center.  

We're still learning the ropes but you can bet we're not going to be sitting on the sidelines.  Ever.

If anything, Democrats can thank George W. Bush for screwing things up so bad that we couldn't help but pay attention and start to do something about it.

Man, I'm glad you are all out there. This geezer has dropped back in and I need all the help and energy I can get. Last night's results can't hurt our recruitment, either. Everybody loves a winner.

From what I've read, trends show that kids are more liberal than their parents.  So we're heading in the right direction, if slowly :)

You've got to be especially happy with the Congressional results in your state.  Those are huge pickups.

I am really pleased, as its a big improvement. Now, if we can just start pushing them to the left. The progressive primary candidate from IU who lost to Baron Hill in the IN-9th was gracious enough to publicly endorse him last week. I'm hoping she will continue to have some input on policy, as will we who helped him into office.

BTW, I'm way more liberal than my "I Like Ike" parents and grandparents. I've finally gotten my mom to cross over and vote Democrat now at age 89 ;-)
