Ditto (Megan Daum LA TIMES)
" With political discourse reduced to screaming contests and actual news eclipsed by exclusive and shocking footage of celebrities without makeup, we've become not only impatient with but downright opposed to the kinds of ideas that can't be reduced to a line on a screen crawl or a two-sentence blog entry.
But even if Obama is not an intellectual in the classic sense, there's no doubt that he's absorbed the trappings of erudite rhetoric. He offers up ideas that don't lend themselves to sound bites but require some sustained attention. And according to the media and the political spin machine, that's proof he's snobby and out of touch."
ok that's 3 sentences, not 2 but you get my drift... This election isn't a popularity contest about who you'd like to go drinking, hunting, or lapel-flag shopping with... its about who you want to be thinking through the Big Decisions on the future of our country. Why not pick somebody intelligent this time?
