Because Chris Buckley prose and elite nausea about Sarah Palin aside, we don't want to jinx things?
Because the Repubs are vicious mendacious desparate assholes who are going to try every trick in the book to steal the election even though they have made such a huge mess we are going to be digging out for decades?
Because I yearn for the civic ritual of marking my ballot and watching results get tabulated.
Because as long as Shrubya is going to lecture the rest of the world about democracy, we ought to practice it ourselves!
Because not a single third party candidate has ANYTHING cogent to say about the current crisis, fairy godmothers have all vanished, and we are going to have to make the change we want ourselves.
Enough?
