hard road to hoe
On one hand- when the two best choices, this time around, for Democrats are an African-American and a woman, it's fair to consider the argument. But in a time when alignments are shifting in ways so subtle that an election wonk like Karl Rove can get fired for misreading tea leaves, I personally think Democrats need to be out there fighting for every single vote. Burning bridges is the way of the political neophyte. And I don't think white males are ultimately a constituency you can just blow off and hope to remain viable as a candidate or a party. It's a cute argument, but its also an exceedingly stupid one.
