123. Excellent points.
I cannot comprehend the willingness of some people here to throw everyone under the bus that says anything that they do not like.

One of the advantages that we can have as Democrats, if we so choose it, is to take the high road and actually scrutinize our own party as well, rather than putting out constant rah-rah-rah party propaganda ad the GOP does. With time, if we scrutinize our own as well as theirs and also do not adopt their sleazy campaign tactics with the lame excuse that "everyone does it", then and only then will people on both sides of the aisle wake up and realize that politics is what we make it, and refuse to accept the status quo.

Only Obama is offering that change in tone and is living up to it. If he or any other Democrat messes up to the extent that Hillary has in this campaign, I hope that Keith will call him on it as well.
