I liked the Olivia Wilde bit for MoveOn better. But it needs to be said. Don't let your disappointment in the moderates become capitulation to the fanatics.

(In this, Pelosi, Obama, Reid, etc., are the moderates; the religious right/Tea Party nexus the fanatics. If you don't see that, step back & look at what Pelosi & Obama have actually done, not the exaggerations from either side.)

Also, I think too many of us failed to be the change we were looking for this primary season. I am bemoaning the lack of real challengers now because of that. But there are a few.

I'm voting for Scott Eckersley for Congress. I don't expect to agree with him on a whole lot, but he's better than the alternative.

Don't forget. The conservative GOP is not the majority, but it is the usual majority of the majority of the majority, and they may still be the plurality group by interest & priorities. It's up to everyone else in the two-party system to stand up to them however we can. For many of us, that means working with those we don't entirely like or agree with through the Democratic Party.
