I don't need inspiring, I need and want a political fighter who knows how to land punches on the opposition and push our agenda forward. That's what this system respects and responds to; not cajoling or sermonizing, but aggressive resolve which goes directly at the opposition's jugular. When we finally choose a nominee and turn to confront the republicans in the general, we will recognize this.

1. Mr Sunshine of 2004 must agree

because he sure dropped that Mr Optimism persona in a hurry. And has dropped consistently since he did it.

Hope Ain't On The Way no more. :cry:

3. Optimism isn't in direct conflict with being willing to fight for what you believe in.
In fact, it's the optimists who WILL fight. And fight again, even if they lose the first one.

8. Obama doesn't talk about fighting.
He talks about reaching across the aisle. :puke:
