What more is there to say before the election? This has the potential to be a big day for Democrats, and things are certainly breaking the right way here in Minnesota. We’ve seen the momentum building all summer as there were signs that the economy, though still weak, is gaining strength. Ohio and the rest of the industrial heartland seems to believe that it’s good enough, and they are polling strong for Obama.
What more is there to say? It’s a good time to admit I was very wrong about something. Something big, too.
Like most people concerned with the precarious state of our economy, I hate the emotional “hot button” issues. I’ve called the relentless bleating on Fox a “War on Reality” and blasted the distractions created. The bizarre and constant assault on women (and basic decency) hit my radar, but that was about it. It simply seemed that we had better things to talk about as a people whose futures are tied together. What I was wrong about was simple – that these issues, and our reaction to them on the left, is what strong coalitions are made from and once we kick some butt there will be no turning back.
