If we don't win, don't freak out

[gordontron]

No this is not another thread predicting doom and gloom tomorrow, but I just want to remind everyone that even if we don't win both houses of congress we still will have made progress. I hate to say it, but I think our hopes are too high at the moment. Make no mistake this election will be a slap across the face to Bush, but our election system is so broken that America won't be truly able to express it's discontent. In the last midterm election there was a 98% incumbency rate, which is utterly ridiculous. With redistricting and big money it is hard to run a real democratic republic these days, but we still need to try.

So tomorrow:

+go vote
+get others to vote
+watch for signs of fraud,
+but don't reach for the cyanide if it isn't a landslide

good luck everyone
