Still gonna vote for Grampa McCain or sit out the general election if your favorite Democrat loses the nomination?

C'mon, now. It's too important, much more so than your bruised ego.

I'm Steve, and I approve this message of fear. Be afraid. I am.

1. In the next 8 years
we might have opportunity to upgrade half the court.

And thank goodness for that.

5. Yep.
All the more reason to elect a Democrat. ANY Democrat.

Stevens and Ginsburg are holding on for dear life. I'm sure they'll retire if a Dem is elected. If not, how long can they hold on?

2. I, too, am afraid...
If we lose this election...

The Court's composition will be up for grabs, and democracy will vanish, slowly, bit by bit...


On the other hand, if we win...

Well...

It'll be cause for considerable celebration!
