Monday Night

In less than 24 hours we'll be getting results for the primary elections. The last 24 hours have been difficult for the candidates and the next 24 will be emotional. The sign wars began over the weekend and the last minute attacks are in full force - on both sides. For the most part the negative campaigning has been done by the Republicans. It comes real easy for them, Karl Rove is their hero. He learned dirty tricks as a College Republican and has mentored a generation of CRs who do the bidding of their masters.

On Wednesday we will start a new round of campaigning; some will be invigorated by the process while others will be irritated by the results. We must all focus on the goal - remember November. And we must keep our eye on the real enemy - politicians who so loathe government by the people, for the people that they will do anything, yes, anything, to win and then do everything within their power to eliminate effective government.
