Forgiveness, water under the bridge, and all that? That's mighty white of you.The point is that there are a lot of people in the country who are looking for objective, pragmatic behavior from our politicians, and an event like this is an opportunity for that kind of behavior and solution-oriented attitude to be displayed. That's what I'm looking for in decisions about who to support in the next elections, and I know I'm not the only one. Right now, I'm pretty much in an anti-incumbent mood, though I'd reconsider individuals who demonstrate what I expect from those elected to office.
