But we do have a two party system and so far I don't see a candidate who has a hope of making this deep division dissappear? Perhaps some would be better at lessening the situation than others.
This goes to both sides, btw. If Kucinich gets painted by the right as a loony, out-of-touch hippy for suggesting that Cheney be impeached, then what are we to make of the GOP candidate afraid to raise his hand to say he believes in evolution for fear of offending the religious right? The fact the Kucinich is not afraid to speak his convictions is what I admire. Would he be the worst, most divisive choice as a nominee? Probably. But he won't get it the nomination, and right now all his honesty does is force the other candidates to speak more plainly about the issues. At least I hope it does...
