Jeff Jacoby's editorial this morning is a superb example of reaching across the aisle. I would encourage you to e-mail him to say thank you, as well as to find opportunities to follow his example, whether in writing, word or deed.

Kudos to Jeff Jacoby (and to Knowyourneighbor for referring to it) for an insightful and neutral call for fair play.
I will, however, disagree with Jeff on one point. He says, "A candidate's public record has far more to say about his fitness for office than his private devotions do." I say the opposite; a candidate's private devotions have far more to say about fitness for office than does his public record. For what a candidate lacks in public record, he makes up for in character and judgment. I would rather a political ignorant willing to take an unfavorable position and risk a public flogging because he feels it correct, than a political savant who plays to the focus groups and polls to save his job.
