It's frustrating that out much better candidates don't get a similar defense but rather a passive sort of "let's judge them and see how they did" sort of attitude. This is politics and we need to support the Democrats. If we did, the Republicans with their anti-choice, warmongering, trickle down crap would not be nearly as numerous - they would be on the margins. It's as if Democrats are afraid to support anything, lest they be called cheerleaders or the like.

Aggressive style? Really? Just a little pageant crack can win a debate? Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #14
