Hope even in defeat

KOS poses a challenge and congratulations, and a little remaining hope in the remaining votes to be counted in Ohio.

Daily Kos :: Political Analysis and other daily rants on the state of the nation.

You all have much to be proud of. But please don’t think your job is done, or that your hard work was all for naught. It’s not, and it wasn’t.
This is just the beginning, not the end. Regardless of who takes that oath next January we still have a war to wage. We won’t wage it with violence, but by building a solid foundation for a new progressive movement.
Update: The margin in Ohio is now under 100,000 votes. This one is not over. Kerry campaign statement:
“The vote count in Ohio has not been completed. There are more than 250,000 remaining votes to be counted. We believe when they are, John Kerry will win Ohio.”
Lawyers are heading out to Ohio to demand a fair count.

Even if Ohio does not pan out, and Bush emerges from this and into a second term, I can only hope that his administration’s past and continued deceptions and corruption will be revealed. As KOS put it, something was started. I’m afraid I’m going to be really down when I get up tomorrow.
