(Community Matters) Reading the blogosphere, pit in my stomach. My enthusiasm for the ticket plunges at the prospect of Sam Nunn as a running mate. Doesn’t appear any more likely now than months ago when first floated, just that the reality of a pick is more certain and the possibility remains.
My Jewish friends should imagine an anti-Semitic joining the ticket to understand my feelings. My other female friends should imagine Clayton Williams.
Shortly after 1992, I came to the realization that my baseline was a candidate who wouldn’t threaten my civil liberties – the right to pursue employment, housing, medical services, equal protections under the law – even before I could embrace their support for health care, a sound economy, national security, education and so forth.
