Keep Your Chin Up

Maybe it's too early to talk about what the next step is. But I've been buoyed by a lot of posts on Daily Kos, a mix of a political blog and an web site for liberal activists.

Not a lot of optimism there, but a feeling that while this was a huge loss, it's just one battle in a long war that needs to be fought by anyone who's commitment to their country goes beyond voting every 4 years.

It's too early for many, including me, to start asking, "What can I do to help?" It's time to reflect and let the shock settle down. But I hope all of you plant the idea in your mind of doing something in the next 4 years to help our country take a small step towards a better path.

Update: I share Kevin Drum's outlook.
