There's more at stake...[an interesting post from the dailykos blog]... ______________________________ dailykos.com Winning isn't the only thing we can do. Among other things, we can change the Republican party. I diaried about this earlier, here's a piece: A Kerry win discredits the Bush campaign. A big Kerry win weakens the Texas mafia and the neocons within their own party. The bigger the win for Kerry, the bigger the loss for hate-based politics. We can help sane Republicans take back their party again, perhaps even bring back reality-based politics--real debate about real issues and sincere efforts toward pragmatic cooperation. Is that even remotely possible? Look at them. The Bush campaign is doing everything they can to rig or gum up the works. They are all over the map, trying to shore up multiple fronts. They're sweating. Rove isn't winning, he's hanging on, playing to survive, hoping to win or to lose respectably. Win or lose, real Republicans and real conservatives are angry and spoiling for a fight. We can help them. Take it from Karl: it's possible, and that's why every vote matters. To sum up: What can a vote do? Win the electoral vote. Win the popular vote. Beat the cheat. (This has two parts: a) outvote the theft margin; and b) outvote the litigation margin.) Throw the Bush junta out of politics. Give Kerry a Mandate.
