You are right about trying to lose the pessimism. If anything is to be accomplished here, bipartisan effort has to be made. It is possible for someone to be a complete jerk and yet not condone murder. While rifts can be wide, not every liberal is lining up on the side of death for Terri.

Still, since the hatred for the brothers Bush is so deep, this has all gotten lumped into partisan politics instead of just being an issue of human decency and rights. If Jackson's involvement helps Democrats in Florida feel like they help her without being traitors to their party, it will be a good thing.

Though it may be late in coming and while I'm no Jackson fan, this has been the only bright spot of hope in the last few days. We should at least be open to the possibility that it might spur an eleventh hour reprieve through a massive effort of both republican and democrat Floridians. I still pray for that.

OK, I'm better now.

Whoever decides to change sides or just stand up and end their silence is welcome, even if Terri is taken home. The more that speak even if they have alterior motives, the better. This way maybey real change in the law may happen.

I will keep praying along with my family for Terri and to change the hearts of those that seek her death.
