Josh Marshall echoes my thoughts from earlier this week:
We'll always have a national dark side. But some signal needs to be sent, at least for a while, that this sort of filth, his character assassination and appeals to race hatred is not an effective life raft for desperate opportunists looking to save themselves by degrading this country. A McCain defeat would go some way to accomplishing that.
Exactly. To put it precisely, we're not only voting for Senator Obama, we voting to reject the McCain-Palin-Bush politics of fear and division. We have a moral obligation to show up en masse to do this. As I wrote on the Huffington Post this week, it's mandatory.
