| Eighty former volunteers from the Kerry for President campaign gathered in the Mesilla Community Center on December 2, exactly one month after the election, to reflect on the campaign, the election outcome, and our thoughts for the future. Everyone who came was given two minutes to speak, and a wide variety of opinions were expressed. There was a strong feeling of solidarity and mutual respect, even in the wake of Kerry’s defeat at the polls, with several speakers suggesting that we continue to work together politically. At nine pm, everyone had spoken, and we went home. |
