What is occurring amongst the left, the bickering, the arguing, the screaming, that seems to echo from the internet to cable news, threatens to undo much of what so many have achieved, while Republicans again denounce the “weakness of liberals”.

What began as genuine disagreement and debate amongst progressive circles, has now been played up by mainstream media for ratings and profit, while the debate runs a wildfire, polarizing the left and draining its supporters’ collective power. What brought forth the cry, “yes we can!” has been splintered to “but only if I have it just my way,” as a battle of the nuanced ideologies ensues.

The Republicans can still win, McCain can still win, and the destructive deadly policies of this Bush Administration can still continue.

Think of this, as you call for your donations back, as you attack Senator Obama, rightfully or not, and relegate him to the “Boy Junior Senator from Illinois.”

The results of November are not set in stone. There is still a long fight, a long battle left, if we are to take back even a part of Washington for the people who have dedicated themselves to this movement and who have invested so much of their time, their efforts, and their dwindling finances in a common effort to elect a man the next President of the United States. A man, who two hundred years ago would have been brought to this country as a slave bound in shackles and mastered into servitude, a man brave enough to speak to our hopes and dreams for this country, a man who has demonstrated his political abilities, in only a short time, in the halls of national government, a man, who despite the racial divides that still exist in this country, who despite the political divides that tear us apart, who despite the dangers that threaten our country, continues to send forth a message of peace in our time.
