"ll this actually tells us something about the Democratic candidates, which has nothing to do with fuel prices. Obama believes voters want a sensible, less-divisive political dialogue, that the whole process can become more honorable if the right candidate leads the way. Hillary really doesnÕt buy that. She has principles, but she doesnÕt believe in principled stands. She thinks that if she can get elected, she can do great things. And to get there, sheÕs prepared to do whatever. That certainly includes endorsing any number of meaningless-to-ridiculous ideas. (See: her bill to make it illegal to desecrate an American flag.)

On Tuesday, root for the Democrat whose vision of the political process comes closest to matching your own. And I do not want you to be swayed by the fact that Hillary and Barack are finally having a policy debate, and itÕs about the dumbest idea in the campaign."

I started this thread, not to praise Obama, but to hear others praise him.
