Week of March 9, 2008 - March 15, 2008

We can continue to chew off our own legs...


Or, we can consider this:

<blockquote>Why don't we try "he is/she is" for a change? Both Democratic candidates represent diversely layered demographics--ones that describe our future. Clinton is a strong, determined, immensely resilient woman; Obama is a culturally amalgamous, quietly brilliant, elegantly intellectual man. They are both tremendously well educated, making all of us the lucky beneficiaries of affirmative action policies that have reconfigured the playing field to include the two of them.

Now we need to direct our attention where it belongs. As President, McCain would do away with what's left of affirmative action, Roe and habeas corpus. He has been schooled for war and more war. He is committed to and implicated in almost all the domestic and economic lunacies of the Bush Administration. It would be tragic if he strolled in for a touchdown while the rest of us were playing card games in the end zone.</blockquote>

If you have the time to chime in on every post about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (and face it, a lot of us apparently do), then you owe it to yourself, the Democratic Party, and to both candidates to take the time to read the entire piece:

Thanks.  And pass this along, will you?
