Silver Linings
According to CNN's exit poll, Dean beat Kerry in only a couple Demographic categories:
- 18-29 year olds
- The Very Liberal
- Minority Women
- People who use the internet often
That's my group! I think a coalition of young people, progressives, and minority women with a net-savvy edge would govern this country pretty well, and present a pretty good alternative to Bush.
But I want serious progress, so take it with a grain of salt; call it spin if you must, but that picture of John Kerry giving the thumbs up in front of a crowd of dour-faced old white men gave me the creeps. I want youth, I want women, I want color, and I want technology. And I want it now! ;)
So now we find out if Dean's really low on cash, and see what he can do with his speech tonight. It's not over yet, but we're up against the acid test. We'll see what we can do at seven places at once in a week.
And I can't fucking believe I just used a smiley-face in a blog. Time for whiskey.
