being a veteran of the imperfect storm, i'm still not ready to celebrate our "inevitability".  i would advise caution.  jerome, at this point, i get the sense that everything's happening behind closed doors.  do we even have any influence over the process at this point, or are we merely observing from the outside?

it seems to me that the only thing we can do at this point is keep writing VERY NICE letters to our in-state dnc members.
