Democrats are on a roll--at last!

As a long-suffering but loyal Democrat, I am getting more and more excited by the state of our party, both nationally and here in our beautiful blue state. In a nutshell, I think the Democrats are getting their act together! And not a moment too soon, as the righties are taking our beloved country on a fast road to perdition.

Now I am not a party rah-rah type and I know there is still plenty room for improvement, especially when we have Diebold counting the votes, and when huge corporate donations playing such a major role in Congress. Wu's vote for the credit-card company welfare act (aka the bankruptcy bill) continues to rankle, as does Wyden's great-one-day, appalling-the-next voting record.

And being a Deaniac, don't even get me started on the weaknesses and missed opportunities of the Kerry campaign.

But I believe it's time to look forward, and there is ample reason to hope. Let's focus on the positive and get started on the road to victory.

And it's not just because the Bushco regime is finally imploding under the weight of their lies, immorality and corruption.

To take just a few examples...

Give 'em hell Harry Reid is kicking butt in the Senate.

John Edwards finally has the guts to admit he was wrong.

And of course, our beloved Howard continues to speak the truth and call a spade a spade, while pushing through real and significant reform in the DNC, empowering and invigorating state parties in every single state.

Here in Oregon, we've got the House Democrats leading the way, and it bodes extremely well for 2006 and taking back the House.

To take just one example-- check this out:

Take the House Democrats Challenge They totally get it--empowering and engaging the grassroots is the road to victory.

Onward, Democrats!
