Our constitutional crisis - nobody wants to call a spade a spade
e.j. dionne offers this perspective...
and herein lies the REAL problem...
first of all, dionne totally omits any mention of iraq, arguably the priority issue in the public mind today... even worse, he fails to point out that nobody, NOBODY is stepping forward to call attention to the REAL issue, the one that subsumes all the others, namely our constitutional crisis... meanwhile, as the clock ticks slowly toward 20 january 2009, the gutting of that precious document continues unabated...

Our two political parties and their candidates are living in parallel universes. It's as if the candidates were running for president in two separate countries.
and herein lies the REAL problem...
The Democratic mind is focused on serious domestic problems, the Republican mind on terrorism and national security.
