Trouble and Nervousness on the Right (The New York Times)

So a little nail biting going on in the BushCo camp. And well there should be. An incumbent president unable to pull more than 50% of the pre-vote polls?? This Times article shows the right giving all the usual excuses: High Anxiety..., liberal media bias, dirty tricks (pot, this is kettle?), etc.

Look, Bush had 4 years to convince more people than before that he deserves to be president again. He clearly didn't do it, even when handed two or three opportunities to unite the country and the world. With an agenda based on the idea that dismantling Democratic Party institutions is good for America, like it was in Texas, his side needs to wake up to the reality that the wool can't be stretched over everyone's eyes without starting to fray.

I hope you voted, and if you couldn't vote, well... call someone you know who can and remind them to vote. Let your employees leave early or come in late so they have time to vote. Teach your children that there's nothing more important than what happens tonight, not in your life to this point, and maybe never again. Hopefully never again will the country be so divided, walking on a razor-blade of public opinion and cultural war.
