7. We can't continue to nominate candidates
that campaign as if they are afraid they will hurt their opponents feelings. Much as Al Gore backed off after the first debate because of the media saying he was too rough on Dubya. He was showing the voters of this country how little was contained in the other suit on the stage. But he let the wingers and their cohorts in the media to push him into "playing nice". The election should have not be close enough to steal but backing away from challenging Dubya allowed the Repubs to credit Dubya with gravitas that he frankly did not have.
