Dare I think it?

Interesting midday experience: A young friend of ours has been heavily involved in Democratic campaigning, local and national, and got us to come downtown to see Al Gore talking on behalf of our governor, Christine Gregoire, who has been an excellent governor for the past four years, but is being attacked by the shitheel she beat by 136 votes, Dino Rossi. Good old Al got me actually - hoping. For a bunch of positive stuff. We et chicken, and cheered and clapped a good deal. Made me feel as if there actually IS a good side to root for, and that not all politicians are mendacious fuckwads.
