As if there were not enough reason for those with progressive political positions to become hyper-active this year, I will offer one more, which is simply a prediction. I will say, however, that my political experience is such that I seem to have the unfortunate power to channel the worst case senario.

The GOP nomination will be all but sown up by none other than Mike Huckabee upon confirmation of the South Carolina primary results, unless, to quote Huey Long, "he is found with a dead woman or a live boy." If you do not want another 4-8 years of a President who feels entitled to do anything whatsoever, because he has conversations with God, it is time to get off of our asses.

I am not claiming that I am very impressed with the Democrats. The past two years, when they had the opportunity to crush Bush, at least in the House, they acted as cowardly as I could possibly have conceived. Nonetheless, this I would much prefer a coward--again, I am not claiming that there is no possibility for redemption-- in the White House than another boarder-line psychotic.

Perhaps it is too late to right the ship, in 4 more years the "perhaps" I will be compelled to elide the "perhaps." Let's take back the day, so that everything that happens in our Executive branch does not occur in the night.
