Dean Esmay posts a darn good question<\/a>:<\/p>\n

…debate all you want but, once a decision is made, partisanship should stop at the water’s edges. At least so far as I’m concerned.<\/p>\n

Personally, I haven’t jumped either way on the election yet (and yes<\/i>, you’d better believe there’s a long post coming on that). But I do think that Dean’s challenge – right now – is a good idea, and one that should be made right and left.<\/p>\n
