Josh Marshall:
I hope that when the political history of the last half century is written it will show, as it should, that the Republicans engaged in a brand of divisive electoral politics that pitted Americans against each other: white against black, men against women, rich against poor, native born against immigrant, straight against gay. Republicans deserve to be tarred by history for exploiting our weaknesses, our prejudices, and our lesser selves for their own political gain.I hope that we wake up November 8th and hear Condi Rice say, "Quite frankly, nobody could have anticipated that the American people would be so fed up and disgusted with what we did to political discourse, our country, and our foreign policy that they'd turn out in droves to vote the Republican Rubberstamp Congress out of power."
I hate to agree with Andrew Sullivan, but he's right when he says this is no longer an election; it's an intervention.
