Tell me if I'm wrong  (wouldn't be the first time).The Clinton Camp pushing the Rev. Wright story with the Super Delegates  behind closes doors seems disheartening, if true).
Wouldn't that be as bad as Camp Obama pushing the foibles of President Clinton?  He is after all Hillary's moral tutor and closes political advisor (per: Chris Hutchins).
However, as we are reminded, Bill Clinton isn't on the ballot.    Yet neither is Rev. Wright.  In fact, Pastor Hagee, Pat Robertson nor Jerry Falwell are on the ballot. 
When will we forsake the petty to highlight the pertinent?I'm running out of explanations for my 10 year old.  (He thinks nobody is nice)
I want to believe in our candidates, in our promise.  We don't need a dumbing down of the election.  This country faces some incredible challenges.  I don't think Bill Clinton is one of them. Wright isn't.  Neither is Hagee.
Katrina, Iraq, The Economy, Healthcare, Homeland Security, Immigration, the Enivronment, domestic surveillance...these are some of the important issues of the day.
We know my republican party will attack Hillary on a host of issues.  They will tie the worst of Bill around her neck.  They will run contrasting ads of her in Bosnia (not decking for cover) with McCain getting shot down and as a POW.
They will repeat most of the Clinton attacks on Obama, along with Wright, Obama's perceived unbearable lightness of being a first-termer, possibly weak on defense, and that he's a feel good moment.
Dems will say well John's old.  Not as sharp nor as maverick as he used to be.  He misspeaks a lot and flip flops around.  He's just more of the same.
I'm just concerned, you know.  I mean, I read this site all the time.  Some of the sharpest folks I know (even with all the snarkiness).
I'd just hate to see us lose a wonderful moment to breathe again as a Nation.
Then again, maybe we never have.
