I was curious to view the dialog on this website after an Obama victory. I am sorry to say it is so disappointing. How little faith you have in the United States to believe that a possible 8 year term of office by anyone in our government of checks and balances could destroy our democratic republic. I want to thank you, in that your insane hyperbole and slash and burn divide and conquer politics helped insure Obamas victory. Americans were concerned with real issues of life. With your crazy McCarthyism, as long as a combination of Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy and Godzilla did not show up for the debates, your credibility would be destroyed. Americans saw an intelligent articulate level headed guy in now President elect Barack Obama. If you stuck to inexperienced you might have had a shot. You moved away from the center where the majority of the American people live. You did’nt speak to the Reagan Democrats. In the end a majority of Americans did not want to be identified with the likes of you. You win an American election by seeking the center. The fringes of your support have no where else to go. Articulate your vision for America and let the people connect the dots. Americans want a true second opinion in the two party system. You need to be that.

P.S. Now you know what a community organizer does.
