No surrender.

Kerry may have bowed to the inevitable conclusion of this election, but we need not, no we must not, surrender in the fight against the Bushco agenda. Joel Connelly offers wisdom and a degree of solace in the Seattle Post Intelligencer...

Inevitably, as with 1960s liberals at high tide, these folks -- Bush uses the word, and so can I -- will overstep. Unchallenged power has a way of wrecking American presidencies. Apparently, when he was governor, George W. Bush never walked a few blocks to the Lyndon Johnson Library to learn its lessons.

Hence, a message to those wanting to bag it: Do not surrender to cynicism. Look at what you did and were willing to do in 2004, and recognize that there are more than 50 million American voters out there who want what you want.

We have tools today we didn't have before this campaign. We have friends we didn't know about before this campaign. And we have work to do well beyond this campaign.

No surrender.
