...laughs and wardrobe choices guarantees that even the tiniest misstep will be recorded, documented, and analyzed by Wonkette et al. It’s no wonder that campaign managers have become savvy calculators of risk micro-management. All this tiptoeing around really means, however, is that at the ballot box we’ll be forced to choose between two equally shallow cardboard cutouts. What we need is a candidate with fire and drive, somebody respectful of America’s ideals and seasoned politically, yet bold enough to suggest drastic reform if the case calls for it. We?...
