March 4th Post-mortem
March 5th, 2008 BrianWell, that was disappointing and anti-climactic, but is it really anything we didn’t expect? The last few days have arguably been Obama’s worst few days in the whole campaign. He was down by 10-20 points in Ohio and Texas after Wisconsin so its obvious that his message was resonating. But this isn’t the time to grovel, that should have been over after breakfast.
We may have lost a battle but we still are winning the war. We can’t sit back now and become complacent or think that this is too hard to stand up for what is right and good anymore. That isn’t an option. If we really care about what our future will look like, if we really believe Barak Obama can make a difference for us all, then we owe it to ourselves and to each other to keep fighting, and fight harder. This is where we dig in and push for the finish line.
We are being tested and we must not fold when times get hard. We need to show the pundits, the cynics, the doubters, and the Republicans out there who would have us rot into oblivion that this movement isn’t an empty call for change, but a promise to fight for our future.

Get involved! I know I’m going to do more than just write blog posts now. Go to www.barakobama.com and sign-up to make phone calls in upcoming states. Write letters to the editor, join groups of other Obama activists. We may be late to the cause but I know I sure won’t be giving up.
