President-Elect Barack Obama

I spent some time today starting the cleanup from the election. What to do with the local grassroots web site? How about the email addresses tied to the local url? Do we park them all for four years for the re-election, or just let them evaporate when they expire and start over.

In 2000, and again in 2004, we cleaned up after a disaster. Its been so long, since we’ve won one, I don’t quite remember how its done.

We have such a mess of problems, and no doubt we’ll discover there are many more that the Bush/Cheney administration was able to hide or spin hoping the truth wouldn’t emerge until the transition is over. I’ve never seen such problems, but I’ve never had more faith that the new folks in charge are up to the task.

Congratulations to everyone who helped elect Mr. Obama, and I hope those who didn’t will give him a fair chance to be everybody’s president.
