Ten years from now we will all look back at this upcoming election and we'll realize that it was here that the Progressive wave of reform that surged forward at the turn of the 20th Century - and made life better for billions of people in this nation over the last 100 years - finally broke and receded backward into the abyss.

We'll realize it was here when the original corporatists like the DuPonts and the Morgans, and today's corporatists like the Kochs, finally won their ruthless, century-old struggle against progressivism, against equal economic opportunity for all, and against equal civil rights for all.
