Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. I tend to think that we have to define our terms and agree on them. It's the most interesting because that's where differences of opinion really come out. I would say that most people consider gay marriage a 'progressive' issue. I can see your libertarian streak coming out in wanting goverment to get out of the marriage business. I mostly agree with you, but I also wonder about issues like inheritance and rights in case of short or long term incapacitance. Contract law doesn't seem like a good solution.
My personal opinions about the Clintons are too lengthy to include here in any detail. I agree he/she (they) did a pretty good job last time, but it is correct that they had to demonstrate that they could do it again. And they made a lot of mistakes. Last year I believed that Obama was a lightweight and that he wouldn't make it. If Hillary had a post Feb 5th strategy, I really believe that Obama would be the one conceding. Some amount of dirt has been flung, but it's been flung by both sides. I'll leave it to others to count the piles and conclude which ones are the highest.
