GO TEAM!!  Four years ago, the media crap was the same, but I was out knocking on doors and could feel that the media was out of step with the atmosphere on the ground. Now, for me, there is no on the ground. I have to rely on the media crap and I'll tell you, I am freaking out. Please go knock on some doors for me. Pretty, pretty please. I can't face going outside of my house if we elect another numbnuts who doesn't know anything about the greater world. I'll have to start pretending to be Canadian, eh.

I'm glad you posted this.  I've not had time to blog at all over the past several weeks because of work, but at this point I would just like to say that I have absolutely no patience for anyone--anyone--with an ounce of a progressive inclination in his or her body, to sit this one out. If you sit this one out, or worse, if you vote for Romney because you are sore at a tepid Obama, you are saddling your children, and perhaps theirs too, with a Supreme Court that is uncomfortable with Roe v. Wade and every piece of progressive legislation enacted in the last several decades.  That is the one fundamental truth that no disappointed uber progressive should ignore.   "Moderate" republicans, of the sort that Mitt Romney is playing this week, have a tendency to mollify those on their right with Supreme Court nominations--not always of course, but I say one Clarence Thomas by a  "moderate" Bush No. 1 is all the evidence anyone should require on this point.
