Short Thought

Hillary Clinton is running to change the President.

Barack Obama is running to change our politics.

John Edwards is running to change the country.

Yes, there has been some crappy stuff of late, most recently Hillary Clinton aping Republican rhetoric on taxes, in response to Obama's Social Security plan that would actually make taxes more fair. And this has led to some very strong rhetoric by both sides, some painful stuff about race that appears to have had a real impact, as well as some unseemly sexism. But if you look beyond all that, I really do believe that the above three sentences is the race. If there was fair treatment across the media for all three candidates, maybe there would be a real choice along these lines.
