...they must not dominate our view of our country. The American ideals of equality, liberty and opportunity for all are, in a way, Platonic ideals that can never be attained in this imperfect world. American history, though, is replete with achievements that can inspire us in our attempts to bring the real world closer to the utopia we desire. The desperate courage of rangers on Omaha Beach, the steadfast faith of the Freedom Riders and the unshakable integrity of Washington are collective memories that we, as a nation, can draw upon for strength...

Clinton is drunk on the polls, without knowing how little sustenance they bring. With six weeks to go before the elections, lawmakers do not care what 270 million Americans are saying about keeping Clinton in office, they care what a majority of the roughly 75,000 likely voters in their particular districts are saying. They care about the 30 to 40 House races and 10 Senate seats that are up for grabs. They care about who takes control...
