When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

Gary Hart: Kerry win
A British article quotes former Senator and erstwhile Democratic presidential hopeful Gary Hart (no one in the US quotes Gary Hart any more- he's out of fashion) as predicting a Kerry win, based on the idea that the polls are wrong. He may be out of style, but I think he's got a good point:
"It's partly intuitive and partly based on several hidden votes that are not [shown in the polls]," he said. "The hidden votes are new registrants who are overwhelmingly Democratic, disaffected Republicans who won't admit to a pollster they are not going to vote for their party, and young voters who are rightly concerned about conscription if Bush is re-elected. And many of those [have only mobile phones pollsters are not permitted to call] and do not show up in the usual polling." --Andrew Buncombe, Independent News UK
