2008 has the potential to be a transformational election if we want it to be. It's up to us to work the streets, make the phone calls, email friends and family, and take people to the polls. Not only an increased majority in the House, not only 60 seats in the Senate, not only a new Democratic president with a thumping mandate, but ultimately we could foment a thoroughly demoralized, defeated, and divided Republican party whose schisms could haunt the Republican party for a generation.

To understand what the possibilities are, we must look back at the past to remember just how painful a transformational election can be for a once ruling party.
