"Is there anything, in this election, to feel optimistic about? If Democrats use this loss as a defining moment and return to party principles of fighting for those with least and those left out, that's a good thing. And if we build on the historic voter turnout toward greater levels of civic participation, that's also good. Finally, if we confront the issue of faith so that the Bible cannot be manipulated as a Republican tool, that helps us build toward 2008. But I am frankly grasping at straws in an attempt to be optimistic. 2 November 2004 was simply not a good day. "
