Hi, my name is LP

Every liberal cringes when they hear the name Bush and I am sure we are all going to break out the expensive bubbly or vodka on his last day but Bush isn’t the only political problem child. What is truly scary is that Bush is not an individual case. We have Rove. Yes, yes Cheney is scary also but Rove gets other ‘problems’ elected.

After coming off the campaign trail, I the liberal princess, have learned a great deal about the ground game. One of the things I have learned is that we have to get elected. No, of course this is not a new idea, it is just more vital now. We did well this year. We took over Congress but before we pat ourselves on the back we must look at the reasons we won. We won because Americans are fed up with the war and Bush. We were only able to motivate people after the fact. We need to motivate voters to vote before things go bad.

America faces a slue of significant problems which CNN keeps reminding us about. Potential presidents are being rolled out. Consultants are hiring for Iowa and New Hampshire. The camps are beginning to get their ducks in a row. There are new methods of micro-targeting and more ways to spend millions on advertising. If anything we can say that this presidential election cycle will be entertaining.

Just remember, we can not truly celebrate until the elephants are truly six feet under and watch closely for their dirty ticks.
