    If they can keep up the hype and excitement level I think they can do some great work.

I can't say I'm too hyped and excited, but I am planning on voting in my Kansas state senate primary on Tuesday. Something I've never done before. I think part of what Sander's campaign achieved is that it showed his supporters that we do have the numbers to make a difference.

We can drag these entrenched assholes our way somewhat. And we have some reputable people among us who can win primary battles outright.

It is kind of stupid, but there is a Lord of the Rings quote that reminds me a lot of the mood that has come out of Sander's supporters post campaign.

    A thing is about to happen here that has not happened since the Elder Days. The Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong.
