On the eve of the election, I am reminded of Lyn Minmei’s song “We Will Win” from the classic anime series Superdimensional Fortress Macross, released in the United States as part of Robotech. For some reason, Minmei’s battle anthem seems appropriate when describing the Democratic struggle to take back control of congress from the Republicans.

See, in Macross, the humans are besieged by giant aliens who turn out to be terrified of sex. The Republicans are much the same — political giants undone by sexual scandals (re: Mark Foley, Ted Haggard, et al).

Now it’s time for the Democrats to pull out the giant robots and fight back the Republicans. And yes, we will win. In the parlance of Halo, someone is about to get p0wned.
