Late-Night Deep Thought After Reading the News
It's really depressing how easily the campaign has derailed into largely irrelevant non-issues: first, crying; now, who loves and respects Dr. King more. So many important things to deal with, hard to believe these kind of spats are going to decide the nomination. For the record, the more I think about it, the more I tend to agree with some version of this.

Mostly I wish they would talk more about their respective plans for the economy, the war, and health care reform. If we had a decent press corps, they'd demand the discussion be focused on those things. But I would settle for more run-of-the-mill character generalities. This stuff is just getting silly, and it's hard not to blame all three of them.
