Do you get brownie points if you publish this story before the election? Do you get smugness points?
Is there any point?
I guess you haven't noticed, but the election isn't until next week. The Republicans haven't lost yet.
Yes, it seems real bleak for the party of the obscenely rich and extremist fundamentalists right now. But the eggs have not hatched yet.
There are so many possibilities for Republican victory that it is foolish beyond description to publish such an article now.
If things go as they seem to be going, and Obama wins with a 10 point victory, and in addition if the Democrats get a filibuster-proof majority, there will be plenty of time to do post-mortems and gloat and dance on graves. Why do you have to do it now, before the election is over?
Just wait, OK? Wait until Obama has actually won, is actually the president-elect.
I will be sick enough if McCain wins. If McCain wins after endless gloating about his defeat, it will just be that much worse.
