bilmon/Howard's End: ... the stakes in this political contest keep getting higher all the time. We really are talking about the fate of the most powerful, and dangerous, nation in the world -- dangerous not so much because of things it is doing now (which are bad enough) but because of what it might do if the worst elements in the conservative coalition ever got complete control of it. Which they just might -- especially if the Democratic Party becomes completely marginalized.
