In 2004 a guy nobody had heard of was talking about running a 50 state campaign for President to push for building the D party and work on taking back statehouses. Then the Dean Scream, pushed by some of the DNC by the way, killed the Deaniac movement. I did not even bother watching the 2004 returns. In 2006 I was in a ball room with 50-60 computers and monitors, over 300 people, a newly elected Democratic Congressman, all of watching all 435 congressional elections, cheering like a demented teenager at one of the early Beatles gigs. 2008 I was all "HOLY SHIT THAT JUST HAPPENED."

The DNC has now fucked me over so many times that I think I need to demand some cuddle in the afterglow.
