Chicana on the Edge

Mentioning the unmentionable since 2004

Worst Possibility Didn’t Happen

At least I’ll be able to sleep tonight knowing I honestly did what I could to get George Bush out of office. That’s way more than most Americans can say. I’m grateful for my brilliance that defined my personal success in this election: I can’t control the election, but I can control my participation in it. And I did good. Wisconsin went Democrat. It’s just that Wisconsin wasn’t enough.

I feel bad for the canvassers, including me, who travelled to Wisconsin and worked hard but kicked ourselves today because we think we should have gone to Ohio. We shouldn’t blame ourselves. We were called and we came forth and we did our job: we won Wisconsin. It just wasn’t enough.
