This is worth reading in it's entirety if your interested in understanding how we have come to the point in the road we find ourselves now.
Although I would describe our current liberals as Neo-Gramiscian we should understand that although Antonio Gramsci is thought of as the main contributor Karl Marx was also a major player in their philosophy.
I agree completely with the author that both candidates in this presidential election deserve to loose, it's just that one deserves to loose more. I would however expand upon that and say three deserve to loose, as I think perhaps Sarah Palin deserves to win. At least that is my current perspective.

Political Elections, Cultural Elections, and the Votes that Really Matter

More than a referendum on where we are to go, an election is one on where we've been. It is but a link in a chain, one of a series of turns, and my only task is to try to turn that bus in the best possible direction at the given moment.
To be honest, treating politics isn't my favorite pastime. Sure, like other commentators I do it, but it's not something I can truly sink my teeth into. I'll explain why momentarily.
This election season, my pen has directed many slings and arrows Barack Obama's way. I criticized John McCain, too, but that was during the primaries. Now there is what I perceive to be a clear and present danger in the person of a slick demagogue, so my sights - and my site - are trained in one particular direction. Because of this, however, I sometimes receive emails from disenchanted rightist voters. "What do you have to say about McCain?" some ask. "How is he any better than Obama?"
My feelings toward such respondents vacillate between surliness and sympathy. I understand why they feel the way they do, but they don't understand me. I'm neither a party man nor a doctrinarian. I'm probably at least as dissatisfied with our wanting candidates as those who write me, and I can sum up my reasoning very simply:
Both candidates deserve to lose.
Only, one deserves to lose more.
