Let's get on with it

Tonight I watched MSNBC's new show Road to the White House with NBC White House correspondent, David Gregory. There was a lively roundtable discussion, and I was most struck by the always lucid Rachel Maddow, who pointed out, yet again, that we're all quite sick of the distraction of identity politics - that we don't care THAT much about the presidential candidates' race or gender, and we'd like to focus on the economy and Iraq and healthcare and the other pressing issues that America and Americans must face. I wholeheartedly agree!
