BuzzMachine, is a stand-up honest guy with a great deal of integrity. Here's his open letter to Kerry.

Meteor Blades on Daily Kos:

We lost on 11/2. Came in second place in a crucial battle whose damage may still be felt decades from now. The despicable record of our foes makes our defeat good reason for disappointment and fear. Even without a mandate over the past four years, they have behaved ruthlessly at home and abroad, failing to listen to objections even from members of their own party. With the mandate of a 3.6-million vote margin, one can only imagine how far their arrogance will take them in their efforts to dismantle 70 years of social legislation and 50+ years of diplomacy.

It is time, and past time that we dismantled the DNC, tossed out its tired, failed leadership, and built a better party. For the past four years, John Kerry, and every other "Democrat" in the House and Senate gave GWB a free ride, it cost them in the mid terms, and it has now cost them again.

If the national Democratic "leaders" aren't fighting for us, we need to replace them. Lets get more Obamas in there and get rid of the dinosaurs who have sold out and won't fight back against Bush.

This from a lay pollster:

North Carolina
Zogby had it +3% for Bush
Final +13% for Bush

More proof that we aren't winning with a southern strategy. We've got to try something else.

The culture of the Northeast begins with equality and fairness. Those are the core values of democracy. And you can't have democracy without reality. Based on real information.

Another rant:

I've told friends that having Bush in the White House is like having Al Capone running the government. Well, a majority of Americans just voted to re-elect the crook. Karl Rove's dirty and divisive campaign tricks worked. The majority of Americans were bamboozled. The election last night was good for you if...
