One doesn't have to be converted into a Democrat to think that the results
of the struggle being played out now about whether Gore or Bush will become
president matters. If you believe the only difference is the speed with
which we lose, at this point certainly choose the slower road. It at least
gives us more chances to fight. The Republican organized, and apparently
paid for, successful disruption of the voting in Miami-Dade County(which may
prove decisive) and the threat to have the Florida legislature choose the
electors are both startling reminders that there is still some room to fight
( even within this tightly corporate controlled electoral system) that we
can easily lose. There is a stench of open fascism there. I hope there is
more public protest about this, letters to the newspapers, and messages to
the Democratic Party (however much it is completely owned by the
corporations- and it is) to keep up the fight, which some among the
leadership in the D.P. seem to want to abandon.
