Okay....the Alaska State Fair Dog & Pony Show is over. "NOW, WHAT" you ask?

[Obamarama]

We've seen their My Little GOP Pony whinnie and nay and stomp her glamourous little hooves. What we know, and what we've known from the beginning is that this GOP vice-presidential pick may be a My Little GOP Pony for now, but we know her real pedigree, and we know what she'll become if her shadow is allowed to darken the doorstep of the White House: THE LEAD HORSE FOR THE HORSEMEN OF THE APOCOLYPSE.

So, as soon as we're done posting our umpteenth thread about the disastrous possibilities and the implications of the GOP winning a triple crown in the race to the White House (and yes, I am aware that I am very guilty of this very same behavior, so no finger wagging please), PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE join me in picking up the phone or driving down to the local Democratic Party and doing something...ANYTHING to ensure it's Obama & Biden crossing the finish line first in November.

You have a few extra hours? PHONE BANK. Have a Saturday free? CANVASS. Have $5 extra dollars in your pocket? DONATE. I know not everyone has the time or the ability to do some or any of these things, and you shouldn't feel bad about that. However, there are those of us who can, and there even enough of us that we can pick up the slack for those who can't - that's what the Democratic party is really about! I have a whole host of responsibilites that just recently came my way, and I have very little free time on my plate. BUT, I am more than willing to give up some of that precious free time in the next two months if it means we won't have a bunch of sway-backed, buck-toothed warhorses in the stables for the next four years.

So lets get busy out in the barnyard stink of this race, yank the GOP off their high horses and prove to them that two donkeys can beat their faux thoroughbred and his little filly hands down, any day, anywhere.

(Sorry for the horse theme...it just sort of evolved as I composed this missive.)
