In any case, between the gloriously high disapproval of Shrub and the equally great loathing for this idiotic war, I'm fairly certain that once the Democrats get over fighting between two candidates with effectively identical political positions, we'll have a Democrate for president and the US can begin the (long) journey back to something resembling sane politics.
