(I agree, Tay, that we need to stay civil here--it's our main claim to fame at DU.)

But also, outside of our own forum, we can extend this. Those of us who are identified as Kerrycrats by our avatars and/or sig lines will promote a spirit of unity by speaking well about other politicians candidates when we see things we like. It shows that it is possible to like and appreciate the actions and words of others besides your own personal favorite. That's a lot better than bashing what we don't like; we can be a positive force and good role models. Just like JK has inspired us to be by his example.

In that spirit, I'm going to really, really try not to jump on any Dem-bashing bandwagons, as fun as it might be. A healthy debate of the issues, yes, but not personal attacks. I'll limit it to alternately laughing at or yelling at them in the privacy of my own TV room!
