The Coming Weeks

Josh Marshall has a prediction of what we'll be seeing between now and Election Day that I agree with. The GOP isn't going to give up without a fight.

Stripped down to its components McCain's message to voters is this: "Don't forget. He's definitely black. And he may be a terrorist." That's the message. The nuts and bolts is a concerted effort to keep Democrats from voting -- through intimidation, by striking new voters from the rolls, which is going to happen to lots of them, clogging polling stations to create delays that keep late day (predominantly) Obama voters from voting altogether. Smears in the air and voter suppression on the ground.

Now is not the time to let up. Democrats should know more than anyone that 'it ain't over until the Supreme Court decides.' Expect the most disgusting attacks to be unveiled, and that Election Day will be a fight in the streets.
