How bad could it get?

Digby hits another one out of the ballpark:

This is a scary time. Bush is the lamest of ducks but he is still president for another four months and the damage he could do in that time is incalculable. It's a big chance to take. But the absolute most irresponsible thing that Democrats could do is allow the election of another Republican administration --- all else pales before the prospect of another four years of this kind of governance.

Everyone needs to keep in mind that in spite of everything, the biggest danger to the world economic system and the security of the planet in general is to elect John McCain and his successor, Sarah Palin to preside over the mess that that the conservatives have made of things. We might as well take out money and bury it in the backyard --- or get a boat and sail away.
