Our crowd is much more enthusiastic though and I find that reassuring. The pundits keep talking like we don't have the same enthusiasm as we did in 08. I hope we all prove them wrong!

There are a hell of a lot of people who don't give a shit about anyone but themselves and there are a lot of people who don't like a black man in the White House.

Part two? Citizens United. Part 3? A disgusting backup plan, which is a nationally coordinated, research based voter suppression plan. No wonder that asshole can afford to be out yachting when he should be campaigning!
