Why this Election Matters

I know lots of people have written about this, but think about it. There will surely be some Supreme Court nominations in the next presidential term. If McCain gets elected, that is a scary thought for those of us battling for gay rights. He has already declared he will appoint people just like Bush's choices, if not more conservative.

And you know what? If something happens to McCain - which is not at all out of the question given his age and health - I am even more frightened of Palin making appointments to the Court. Every answer I have seen her give to any question (which granted is not many since she has not really given interviews) shows about a knee deep understanding of the issues. And htat is generous. That combined with her strong religious beliefs suggest that her appointees will be even more conservative than those of McCain - which I didn't even think was possible.

We just can't let this happen. We can't go back. This great country is declining so rapidly - we have to take a chance on change. We really do.
