Most often, Mark Morford’s columns fill me with rage. But today, just a glimmer of hope.

Here’s the whole thing, and for those too lazy to read that much, here’s the nut graph:

“However, we do seem to be at this weird flash point, a privileged moment in political history where the anti-Bush recoil has become so potent and the right-wing collapse is so profound and the women/youth vote (at least at the moment) seems so invigorated that it all might coalesce just right and catapult a woman or a black male into the presidency, despite the hardcore misogyny and racism built like a cancer into the framework of this nation. Hey, stranger things have happened. ”

Indeed. I still believe in a thing called Hope.
