I snagged a copy of the NY Times front section at a Starbucks’ yesterday. Turning to the Op-Ed page, I read an editorial by Nicholas Kristoff on the glorified food fight being waged by the Democratic candidates. Most of the editorial has the usual mind-numbing banality that passes for informed opinion today, but I did find one nugget that shows us yet again there is not a dime’s worth of difference between the two political parties.
“Meanwhile, the big winner of the Democratic fist-fighting is Senator McCain. A Gallup poll released Wednesday found that 19 percent of Mr. Obama’s supporters said they would vote for Mr. McCain in the general election if Mrs. Clinton were the nominee. More startling, 28 percent of Mrs. Clinton’s supporters said they would defect to Mr. McCain if Mr. Obama were the nominee.”
Next I suppose comes the stamping of feet and holding of breath. Sheesh. What a bunch.
Then there is this.
I can assure you all, gentle readers, this is reality in America.
