I find something very odd about what is going on. Today's news showed a Palin/McCain rally that displayed Republican panic and fury far, far more volatile than the disgust and dishearten-ment- and what? fear? - the Democrats showed when it appeared quite clear that a Republican could/would win in 2000 and especially in 2004.

I remember Democrats and other 'unchurched' feeling and threatening to leave the country if the Republicans got into office- I do NOT remember anyone acting the way the Repugnicants did today.

It's enough to make a person fear what is over the horizon.
