Don't start packing just yet

Kerry just conceded.

The Republicans have control of both chambers of Congress and there are 28 GOP governors to 21 Democrat. We basically got our asses handed to us on a silver platter.

I've been hearing a lot of crestfallen, incredulous, angry people talk about moving out of the country. I want to remind them of a few things:

- Over 55,464,500 citizens voted against this President and his policies on the economy, the environment, healthcare, stem cell research, a woman's right to choose, the right to privacy, the "War on Terrorism", and on and on...

- In 2008, Sen. John Edwards, Sen. Hillary Rodham-Clinton, Sen. Barack Obama, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, Gov. Janet Napolitano of Arizona, just to name a few may be running against Gov. Jeb Bush for the Presidency.

- Political fundraising on the Internet will only get bigger, making it very possible for people who are not tied to special interests to run for public office. PEOPLE LIKE YOU.

Now is not the time to cut and run. Now is the time to dig in and fight. In two years another election will determine the make-up of Congress. Let's give the Democratic President in 2008 a Congress she/he can work with.

The clock starts now.
