Win or lose

we have to keep the game in play. Harold Meyerson, in the LA Weekly, talks about the tremendous ground swell amongst progressives that has occurred in 2004. We have to keep it going. In fact, if Bush wins (God forbid) it's likely that he will run ever further to the right and further toward the same disastrous policies that he's followed the last four years, which can only mean that eventually - when people wake up to the fact that the approach simply isn't working (to say the least) - the progressive movement will be ready and fully operational to move on in and start amassing an actual base of power.

In any case, this is a very encouraging article, and I think it's good to keep in mind that no matter how much it might FEEL that way, the world does not begin and end next Tuesday.
