Keep It On and On
Despite the end result, I had a great time at Jim Davis' victory party Tuesday night. Reconnected with old friends (who wish I'd stop telling people how long we've known each other) Suzanne and Trisha. They've been with Jim since the beginning and remember me when my hair grew out instead of down.
The Jim Davis Crew has grown since 1988, yet I'm always heartened to see so many people from back in the day still rallying behind our man. Such loyalty says a lot about Jim and the people with whom he surrounds himself.
Carol even flew in from Jersey to reconnect and show her support.
I've had a great time getting to know his most current devotees over the past eighteen months: Kurt, Matt, Tait, Elizabeth, Christine, and Reggie (in addition to so many others). You all are a terrific and talented group of professionals who will benefit any campaign with which you choose to allign yourselves.
Thanks to those who've been calling and cheering me up. You are the best. I'm optimistic about a new Democratic era in Washington and hope to work toward more changes set for 2008.

First Dem Declares for 2008 Presidential Election
With a name like Vilsack, he's going places!
I saw you on TV. You were standing behind a reporter from Central Florida News 13. Lookin good.
Thanks Bobby. Although you worked hard to ensure my sadness, comments like that will go a long way toward healing the rift that exists between our two parties. So feel free to keep it up. :-)
Hey, Catherine.
Me again. Looks like Amendment 7 passed. I'm not disappointed. You're right in that it will at least help a few of the disabled vets. I don't like the limitations, but, well... baby steps, I guess.
And you're also right when you said the discussion shouldn't stop at Amendment 7. I'm very sensitive to the way vets are treated in this country, because...well, frankly, many of them still get treated like dirt in this country. This government should be kissing their feet! Without our veterans doing the dirty work of going off and actually fighting these battles, there wouldn't be a government to speak of!
Anyhoo, it definitely sucks that Davis lost. Call me a single issue voter if you must, but I wanted Davis to win for no other reason than his much more favorable stance on the FCATs. But I'm overjoyed that Florida decided to keep Bill Nelson. Harris just scared the bejesus out of me.
Peace.
