Ok I heard that some HRC supporters and undecideds are reading our blogs trying to decide whether or not to cross over and support Barack.

I just want to say welcome. And tell you that you may like some of what you hear, you may not like other things. Keep in mind that many of us think of this as a "safe space" where we can vent- which is much needed as things have been tense on both sides.

But we do welcome a debate-- a CONSRTUCTIVE debate. And I want to offer up these links- sort of a greatest hits of stories I've been following. Please read them and consider them while you make your decision.
