The Perfect Storm
Consider our prospects for November. In addition to an economic meltdown and an illegal and endless war, and a still-free Osama Bin Laden, there’s fresh reports that Iran’s not adding to the Iraq arsenal, the Middle East may yet explode to send oil prices into orbit, and could Republicans make matters worse?
Yes, they can. They can go on record against honoring Moms.
But even with that, I think it wise to heed the cautions Krugman’s providing.
With 6 months to go till Election Day, the last thing we need are early victory celebrations. What we should refocus our attention on is the downticket races: Senators and US reps, governors and Secretaries of State. The Netroots are far more effective building greater foundations, not just for six months from now but well into the future.
Let’s get to it.

Not firightened at all
Spend the next six months worried about these things and YOU WILL MANIFEST THEM. None of us has the sligthest control over any of these events so take a deep breath and move forward.
My republican, 40-year military parents switched parties to specifically vote for Obama and their enthusiasm for him is stunning to me. They said they will specifically not vote for Hillary, but now that Big O seems to have things packed up its not really an issue. By the way Hillary - stop acting like GW and see the writing on the wall - are you that blind? The more you 'resolve' to continue the primary, the more you seem like GW - on the Black & White path of idiocy and stubborness - this says you're presidency would be much the same).
So chill on out - there is NOTHING you can do in the slightest to affect teh global events that may be at hand - not a damn thing. At this point, whether its Hillary or Obama, we simply have to rally behind that candidate - the supreme court alone is enough to show we must not have McCain in office. This is the chance and if Dems f*&^ it up this time - I will foreever be an independent and probably just never vote again (Ok, maybe not but I'll be mad).
Liberal: [Latin,liber ("free, not slave")]. It is widely associated with the word "liberty" and the concept of freedom; "tending in favor of freedom and democracy" (Wikipedia,2006)
