I would hate it if scandal sunk any candidate

I want us all to grow up and vote for the person who best reflects our positions on issues, who has similar priorities to ours, who will work to making America the America we want.

The Wright issue is a non issue to me. Never mattered at all.

The Hager issue is a non issue to me. McCain is courting the religious radical right as I would expect of the GOP.

The irrational hatred for HRC coming from both sides is very disturbing. Every time she claims she is the better candidate and would make a better president, there is a segment of Obama supporters who find that offensive (Duh. She's campaigning to win. That's the game one needs to play) and a bevy of "journalists" who will use any insignificant bit of fluff to discredit her.

The incessant parsing of each phrase uttered by each campaign to try to dig a scandal out of it is probably because juicy stories catch our attention, and it's actual work to analyze and compare the candidates positions, and to identify significant issues.


This swiftboat mentality was born GOP but has infected the progressive milieu.
