Seen at "the American Street"

It's a good group blog and it's finding its way onto my links this weekend.

I've seen a lot of handwringing and whinging about the election and a lot of very bad advice. Here's some good advice courtesy of Emma:

"We need to motivate those who don’t want to live in a half-assed science-fiction dystopia."

We don't need to appease the troglodytes who think we should outlaw gay sex and start teaching creationism in Public Schools. We need to be who we are and better articulate why the Republicans are wrong, dangerous, incompetent, and sleazy. If we had won Ohio the situation would have been different. This president had every advantage in the world except for his record of failure. We got really close.

This is an opportunity to rethink strategy. This is an opportunity to strengthen liberal political infrastructure. This is not an opportunity to compromise ourselves.
