The Bottom Line

Whoever gets elected as President in November, each candidate must first win their respective party's nomination.

John McCain has made it over this hurdle and is now wandering the globe making gaff after gaff with virtually no opposition.

And although Clinton and Obama must first wrestle the nomination from the other, both would be well served to spend the next few weeks or months talking about themselves, their positions and policies as they also highlight the problems with McCain.

After all, the whole point of an election is supposed to be about giving voters time and information that informs us about each candidate so that we can make the best decision.

So, shut up already about what is wrong with the other Democrat!

Tell us what you will do about the economy, the war(s), health care, the environment, our infrastructure, Social Security, Medicare, education, LGBTQ equality, and on and on and on...

The bottom line is this -- we need a Democrat elected as President in November.

Period.
