Now that the worst has happened and Kerry has conceded I feel strangely energized. The bloggers are largely agreed on one thing: now is not the time to lose heart. The Republicans got soundly thrashed by Johnson, and then again by Clinton. But Republicans are like Terminators - after each apparently death-dealing blow they pick themselves up and come right back at you. You know they are never going to stop until they've torn your heart out. We have to be like them in that respect (but not in any other!). We have to start winning the next election now, because four years isn't a very long time. The growth of the Left blogosphere has been a major cultural development and I think will play a huge part in the 2008 fight. I was really encouraged by what it managed to do to the Sinclair pricks in what was really a very short space of time. Now there's going to be an even more angry and committed bunch of folks watching out for Repug shit going on. I think the Repugs are going to get a very unpleasant taste of their own medicine in the next few years: every little thing they do is going to get jumped on.
Meanwhile those who voted for Bush in the heartlands can have their spiteful little moment of "triumph," but historically they are doomed. Remember that not so very long ago (in terms of human history) neither women nor African Americans could vote in elections. Now they can, because a whole bunch of very brave, very determined people never gave up the fight. The anti-gay bigots will also lose and will eat away their precious years of life twisted and consumed by their own poisonous personalities, and no one will mourn them.

Especially when Bush loses them the rest of their jobs. All the heartland jobs -- farming, textiles, auto industry, chip making, all of it is being sent offshore by the Republican Big Business cronies. One day all the folks who voted for Bush will hopefully realize that he is to blame for their economic plight.
