I know that must come as a huge surprise -- not -- but as Josh Marshal says, there are two visions of America. Josh:
"There are different visions in this country. There's one which for all its faults and shortcomings aspires to a national unity that transcends our many differences of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc. and an equal share of dignity for all of us. Then there's the school of division and demonization. (Take a look at the ads GOP campaigns are running across the country. The issue of the day is keeping out the Mexicans.) That's the Ken Mehlman school, the tradition of Willie Horton ads and Jungle Music pasted over Harold Ford because these guys are afraid they may be about to lose an open seat in Tennessee, where they haven't sent a Democrat to the senate for almost two decades. It must be a reality that Mehlman appreciates with some measure of inner tension or conflict since gays have been the whipping boys of choice through much of the Bush years even as he himself has been, successively, White House political director, Bush Campaign Manager and head of the RNC. But then we all make our beds."
Read the whole piece and then tell me what you believe. As one idiot leader once said, "You're either with us or you're against us." Which is it?

Nationally, yes. Locally, that's a mixed bag. I'll support everyone from Phil on down except Kevin DeLeon. Sam came by the house this summer with her daughter. Nice lady. Like what she has to say. Not beholden to special interests. Just this once I'll vote for a non-Dem and not regret it in the morning.
