The Spirit of '04

This election will be decided by heroes with wet feet.

Via Salon's War Room...

...At one polling place at an eastern Columbus library there were six voting booths in 2000; this year, despite historic levels of voter registration, there were only three, reports America Coming Together volunteer John Darrah, on the ground in Columbus. Mid-day ACT shifted people from ferrying voters to the polls to going to get them food and water. When Darrah left the library around 10 p.m., there were still several hundred African American voters waiting to vote. "I saw people standing in two inches of rain, for hours," says Darrah, angry but inspired. "And I only saw one person walk away."

God bless 'em, every one.

And when someone gets around to counting them, I think they'll elect our new President.
