Once again Missouri Democrats have participated in some spirited Primary races. Those who will appear as Democrats on the November ballot have now been selected. At this stage, many political activists are basking in the afterglow of victory but others are feeling wounded and disappointed.

All of us need to reach out to the Democrats who were disappointed on Tuesday and make sure that they are full members of our Democratic effort going forward. We have to elect Barack Obama as President in November. We have to elect Jay Nixon as Governor. The rest of our ticket is strong and we can be proud of all of our nominees. And we MUST elect them in November. Our national and state governments are a mess and we’re the ones who can change it.

We need to begin our efforts now. There will be many opportunities for each of us to participate in the Fall campaign. For example, the Obama campaign has scheduled a canvass for this week-end. Go to Obama’s website and sign up. Send one or more of our Democrats a contribution. Schedule some vacation time for the Fall so that you can work side by side with us in the final days.

We are going to win in November. And we need everybody on the team. Join us.
