This is an important point that will almost certainly go down the memory hole unless plenty of people make note of it now. That's because -- if Barack loses -- the Democrats will seek to "wave the bloody shirt" over his defeat, in an effort to convince their constituents that somehow illegitimate, vaguely racist arguments from evil Republicans were responsible.
