With Election 2008 upon us, Andrei Cherny writes on The Huffington Post about this moment and its meaning. Writes Cherny:

The challenge for Democrats is to be more than a clean up crew picking up after the Republican elephant. It is offer a better alternative that fits the times and America’s values.

The work will not be easy. We’ve had more dangerous moments around the world in our history before this one. We’ve been in worse shape economically. But never before in our history has the combination of our situation at home and around the world been as bad as it now. Never before has America needed the kind of leadership that the Democratic Party provides more than it does now.
