a super feeling after super tuesday!
a competitive race (albiet too influenced by race right now - i hope this too passes the way of the idea that any candidate would be cornated this early. i guess howard dean was right again). with candidates on both sides dedicated to public service in the best sense of the word. i say the party has started for all of us, and promises to end well.
great stuff!
including record veiwership of a televised debate (right up there with Law and Order SVU - go figure)? i guess the idea that voters prefer candidates whose positions can be packaged into 30 second commercials is a mistaken notion. its seems voters, when given the chance to be informed by substantive debates, say "yes we can!"
ideally our demonstration of the depth of our ability to pay attention will be rewarded with increasingly substantive debates, in increasingly interactive formats, that promote real discussions of leadership and policy stances, all, punctuated by comparisons of results, positions, and ideas, past, present, and future.
the cherry on top; that exchanges to come, will take place in a manner that exemplifies mutual respect, with recognition of the imporatance of being willing to engage as many folks as possible in the excitement of the political process.
now if hillary has a plans that sound like this… …thas my kinda party!
