biggest different of the night: McCain doesn't seem to want to recognize that the government has a role to play, prefering private nonprofits being in charge.
Of course, there's a role for private non profits. It's always going to be where most volunteers come from. But there's a leadership role that the government must take - and I just don't see that coming from the Republicans.
It's sad that this country cannot come up with a better way to choose our leaders. The press is mostly at fault, looking to sell papers/tv ad time they spotlight trivial snippets and leave us lacking a well defined list of differences between the candidates. Wouldn't you like to see a full page list of questions defining the areas of interest. Don't let them ramble on about vision, concrete questions ie Would you support a NASA program spending 5 billion a year to have a manned permanent presense on the moon in 10 years?

gov't just has to provide the attitudes; president can 'inspire' people to get involved.
good stuff.
correction: government has to provide the avenues, not attitudes.
i want to make government cool again. (getting people to want to participate in government)

Patrick will phone voters for Wilkerson

It is hard to imagine a more irresponsible endorsement. This certainly call into question the Governor's judgement. Explain this my liberal friend.
What's up with the Deval-Diane W love fest? I think the Governor can do better.
why did Deval endorse Diane W
