Almost As If...

In the YouTube debate, the answer — the answer that Ygleisias rather persuasively argues defines the distinction between his view and Hillary — is clear: "I would."

Today the answer is, "he would reserve the right to choose which leaders he would meet, should he choose to meet with them at all."

It's almost as if one answer is designed to win votes in the primary, and another answer is designed to win votes in the general election...

Of course there is another alternative: He's a mental midget with A.D.D. Come to think about it, that's the description of pretty much any politician these days. Hard to name any exceptions actually.

And why we all need to seriously consider doing something radical this election. Voting "none of the above" would be one obvious choice. But I think we need to do better because this is no longer a joke. Our survival depends on making some changes that O -- and I'm afraid McCain only a little less so -- definitely does not have in mind.
