So we shouldn’t be surprised that during Tuesday’s “Rock the Vote” debate among the Democratic presidential hopefuls, the media chose to zone in on the most sound-bytable portion of the political slug-fest: the antagonizing of current frontrunner Howard Dean for his recent contentious comment, “I still want to be the candidate for guys with Confederate flags in their pickup trucks.” Sure, the candidates spoke about a lot more than just the former Vermont governor and his stance...
