RESPECT VS CONTEMPT
This year’s presidential contest, more than any in my memory, seems driven more by personality than policy. To be sure, the policies of the two candidates could not be more starkly different–more like night vs day–but it is their personalities
CALIFORNIA VOTERS: VOTE EARLY, LOSE YOUR VOTE?
