we have to tell them who the real republican party is. that will be on display in delaware. mcconnell and boehner is bad enough. it is the party of limbaugh, becknd palin. we have to do good politics, grassroots work. we have to go out there and i ve seen in the last couple of weeks a real increasein activism and volunteerism. democrats are starting to get big. we have to find these voters, talk to them and tell them if they don t vote tthn we re going to hand the k keys back over to the republican party and the unprecedented assault they brought to our economy, to the middle class, to small businesses, that s what we re going to get again. in your book you have written barack obama and his supporters created something powerful and real, the likes of which we may not see for a very long time with the exception of 2012, i hope. next few days if it does?10 in listen, just historically you re going to have a lot less people voting in an off yea 140 million just about in 08. you may h
