Joe Scarborough is a rarity on TV these days;
a true conservative who is true to his principles and doesn't stoop to the kind of shameless demagoguery that many of his contemporaries traffic in. I don't always agree with him but that is not important. What he brings to the table is a levelheadedness and the willingness to put country over party. If we are to do the same; that is, agree that the future of our country is more important than the election of a democratic congress, then it's people like Mr. Scarborough we need listen to and encourage to continue speaking their minds. Air America might be nice but mostly it's preaching to the converted. When people like Joe or Andrew Sullivan reevaluate their postion and say as much unapolegetically it changes the national discourse to something beyond hyperbole and talking points. For that I am thankful.
