Jake Kaskey I know it was a really tough Tuesday for a lot of young, Democratic campaign staffers across the country. You win some, you lose some, but so many new people came into the process after Obama's election they may not yet have felt the sting of defeat. Here's to all the young staffers feeling the pain this week: http://jakekaskey.wordpress.com/2010/11/03/the-morning-after-gut-punch-y...

Ryan Paugh If we held a Network Roulette event during the day, who would come? We haven't scheduled a daytime event yet because we're scared nobody will be able to make it. So prove me wrong. Would you be able to make a Network Roulette daytime session?

Hannah Kane So the DREAM Act has stalled in the Senate. This feels like a major setback for those who have been advocating for this legislation for a long time now. How do you retreat and regroup after this kind of a setback? http://nyti.ms/9L0OEE

Also, as someone who's worked on equality issues, I've felt stinging defeat a whole lot. So, at least for me, I just try and channel what Teddy Kennedy would say: "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives and the dream shall never die." You have to keep thinking of different strategies when the path we've gone down doesn't work.

It can just be hard to get back up on your feet and start a whole new campaign with whole new tactics. But after taking a couple of minutes to feel sorry for ourselves, we've got to brush off the defeat and get right back to it.

Riley Carson Is anyone else perturbed by the fact that as of this moment, we have no defense budget for fiscal year 2011? Basically, the military has no way to fund the two wars and numerous relief acts that they've been sent to do.

Let me also be COMPLETELY upfront about my political leanings/bias- I'm very much a progressive- but that said, if the Democrats had filibustered defense funding during a Republican president the GOP would be screaming about not supporting our troops. And for the GOP to argue that somehow adding DADT to the authorization bill is wrong because you should only pass "clean bills," it was McCain himself who attached campaign finance reform legislation to Defense authorization legislation in the past.

Riley Carson: I agree with you entirely. I hate the fact that they're using the military as a pawn in the political game.
