Michele's Mistaken

No offense to Michele, a top-notch weblogger, but how can she write that she has no idea what the Presidential candidates stand for? Being a weblogger, she reads lots of stuff everyday. Heck, she even helps run a news weblog where part of it is devoted to covering the Presidential election. Sure, the stands of all the candidates aren't firmly spelled out. We don't know every candidates' position on every issue. We probably aren't happy with the positions of our favorite candidates. However, we certainly can get a pretty good idea of what they are for by reading the newspapers and browsing through campaign websites.

"On Special Request: Electioneering, V.2"

UPDATE: I want to be fair to Michele. She reminded me that the post I linked to was from pre-primary season. What got me worked up about it is I've heard the comment from people that they don't know what the candidates stand for. If all they hear about the campaign is the junk on tv news I can understand, but all you have to do is read a newspaper a few times a week to be fairly up to speed. I can't stand whining when there's an easy solution in plain sight.
