In my rural southern boyhood, we had all sorts of fun things and a few disturbing things. Yet the thing that stays with me tonight is not the ghost light or the statue of the black cat. I'm thinking instead of a water tower that couldn't hold water. I'm thinking that what we must prove is less a matter of "blue dog v. progressive" than of showing that we are the only way forward.

I went to early vote Democratic in my home county, which is "rabidly" Republican. Did I encounter hordes of voters fired up about the election?

Actually, no. I was able to vote in near-record time. I wonder how many other precincts are like mine, with the light turnout customary to a mid-term, and with a great opportunity for core turnout to make a big difference.
