...and the savior has just left town. (Bon Jovi)
Al Giordano pretty much nails it, as Al pretty much always does....
More important than the terror war or economic wranglings, if suddenly this bad seed child of Bush I gets "re"-elected, when he was never elected in the first place, say goodbye to American democracy.
It will be like Bolivia's military dictator Banzer suddenly getting "elected" after having tortured and killed his opposition. (Something that did in fact happen.) It will set the United States back decades, and the United States does not have decades left to slowly repair the damage that it has already suffered (and correspondingly inflicted on too many others, even its natural friends, like the rest of this hemisphere.)
The stakes are very high.
Be afraid, be very afraid, when even the right-wing wants to believe in Dean.
The Dean phenomenon is, at least partly, stoked by the right wing. It bothers me. I've seen this shit before. Neither a Carter nor a Clinton can save this land at this point in history. An FDR? A Lincoln? A Jefferson? Maybe. But when is somebody going to show us those chops? In the next ten weeks? That would be a miracle.
History says that the miracle always comes.
Well... where the fuck is it?
