What never works and never has worked will work this time, because we want it so badly and believe in it so fervently. This is clap-if-you-believe-in-fairies. Maybe in 2000 there was something to be said for idealism and purity since there didn't seem to be a lot of difference between the candidates (if you weren't really paying close attention). But now we know Bush better, and we can see that he's taking the blank check he got after 9/11 and trying to establish permanent right-wing dominance over American politics. This is the wrong time for fairies and candleflames. We need to win this one.
