Save the world.
Vote for John Kerry.
If you read this today, regardless of affiliation or who you ultimately choose, please make sure to get out your vote. Decisive win will be predicated upon turnout. Large turnout means we have restored a vitally missing part of our experiment in democracy - participation.
Let's avoid the silliness of court battles. That will only be achieved by getting out the vote.
If you go through the archives here you will find links to the most egregious, damning pieces of news commentary on the dangers of a Bush presidency. I believe they portray a person who sadly cannot lead this country in the right direction any more. Basically my argument is essentially conservative: George is a monarch. He believes he has hereditary right and divine right on his side. Couple that with arrogance and you have the worst traits of our nation embodied in our president. Arrogance by itself is not entirely dangerous. Ignorance can be naive and forgivable. But combined they are representative of the worst qualities in America, the lineage of all acts done in our name that usually come at the end of a gun. He is not an idiot, he is not a cartoon. I feel in some ways sorry for the man. His debate with Ann Richards years ago shows an agile, graceful speaker, if blunt and to the point.
We cannot in these times of imminent peril throughout the world allow the greatest military might to be in the hands of someone who believes God is speaking directly to them and guiding them. History gives us these rulers constantly. You think we'd know better by now. Because they never accomplish anything for the greater good. They are tyrants. We cannot fight an enemy who is devoted to extreme religious ideology by combating it with the same.
If John McCain were running for president, I wouldn't say a word. I'd just say vote.
But that's my final line, today. Save the world. Vote John Kerry.

Disregard cable news, exit polls. There is only one way to pull this off. Turnout. Get out the vote, get out the vote, get out the vote. If there's record turnout it will be a decisive Kerry win. That means we can avoid the silliness of court appointed presidents. So remind everyone you know, every relative, every friend... Write emails, call, get everyone together in a car and get down to the polls, and make your decision.
