Inspiring and Uncertain Vs. Boring and Stable

Slate's coverage of the two major Democratic Campaigns in New Hampshire:



The local blogosphere discussions on the campaigns look a little ugly and culture-war-fractious right now with the sides raising issues of race and gender where they need not be raised (you can find them yourselves; I'm not going to enable). I'm trying not to go down that road because it only leads to balkanization and unnecessary identity politics that ought to stay at the fringes of the political debate. It is unbecoming of people who cling to democratic ideals.
