I'm so used to being on the losing side, I've gotten used to it.  It's pretty comfortable, when you think about it.  You can be bitter, sarcastic, yet trenchantly critical.  But I'm scared now. It's beginning to look that I am on the winning side in the Democratic nomination.  Well, I have to push through my fear, own it and realize that the fear is the other side of excitement, as we say in 1970s style therapy, still good stuff.  We need to start looking ahead to actually winning and then to the possibility of actually winning the election.  And that is going to mean expanding to include the Clinton wing and their obvious strengths, especially when dealing with the Republican noise machine.

It would be also be nice if the Clintons and their supporters would think a bit before trying to tear Obama's face off in order to win.  That union fella in Ohio, for example, is not, to put it mildly, helping the Democrats win in November. 

Also, if the Democrats do win, a new Senate majority leader will be needed.  Any nominees?
