My focus lately has been less on the political and more on the psychological and cultural aspects of this race and the effect on the democratric community as a whole.

My approach and my tone have changed over the last few weeks as I have stopped analysing everyone else and taken a good hard look at myself. I do not like everything I have seen.

I care as deeply and with as much passion about the outcome of this election as anyone, but when I stand back and look at my own words, from an objective view point, I have come to understand that I may know as little about myself as I do about any of you.

Who is this person so esily provoced to rage, so willing to savage the thoughts of another human being? I do not know this person and I don't think I like him. Passion and conviction are not enough when they have become the weapons with which I would assault another human soul.

It isn't easy, the provocation is real, but the passion which has guided my life has led me to a dark and intolerent place. It will take time and determined introspection to recover my true self from this chaos of emotion and resentment.

I will endeavor with all the strength I can muster to retrace my steps down this twisted trail and look not in judgement at those I oppose, but toward myself.

It is my mission to endure this internal turmoil and seek out the better nature of my essence. It is my goal to search out what remains and to embrace the inner self I had abandoned not so long ago.
