There are a lot of things I like about FR. But one thing I don't like is that it tends to a Manichean view of political campaigns.

Like Palin?? Then she must be portrayed as virtue and integrity incarnate. No mention of any flaws is ever to be permitted.

Dislike Romney? Then he must be portrayed as liberalism and corruption incarnate. No mention of any virtues must ever be permitted.

Dislike Gingrich? Then he must be portrayed as liberalism and corruption incarnate. No mention of any virtues must ever be permitted.

Whoops, time to pivot!!

Hey, they're all politicians, people. All have flaws, some more than others. None are saints, none are demons.

Okay, Romney has nice hair. Other than that he has no virtues whatsoever to a conservative, none.

BHO is truly a demon and we’d all better get that this time around - no second chances.
