On the verge

Metaphor Alert!

"With the Democratic Party on the verge of sinking to the bottom of the barrel, I think it's time that African-Americans supporters jump ship and find themselves a new mode of transportation. . . . African-Americans have been the backbone of the party and its most loyal supporters. Like the orchestra that played on the Titanic, blacks have always gone down with the ship while everyone else is scrambling to find a safety net or a lifeboat. Even in the good times, Africans-Americans [sic] still find themselves on the short end of the stick."--Adolph Mongo, Detroit News, Oct. 14
