    Some have already become Democrats. .... But most are not yet ready to make that step. My plea to you, to Krugman, and others is this: welcome these people. At the very least, don't make the transition even more difficult for them.

    Given that most Democrats are part of the problem why should we care whether those who voted the neocons into power join the Democratic party?

    At most, voting Democratic will only slightly slow the already precipitous descent into the already rampant authoritarianism so ably pointed out by Glenn in his article.

    And not a soul yet has addressed my point that Obama the candidate would imprison Obama the teenager/young adult.

    Not to be a Chicken Little but the sky really is falling and we don't even have a ragged umbrella under which to shelter.
