The Chatterati

.

Today is his test, they tell us. A shining moment or a campaign in crisis. We'll be listening. And we'll have more to say later.

But for right now, a cautionary tale.

In 2000, Republicans wanted to win in the worst way. And they did. And we let them. And we enabled them. And we chased the shiny objects of the chatterati, letting them tell us who "won" debates...and who "won" the White House.

We can repeat history, or we can turn the page.

We can hear with open ears, evaluate with open minds, share and understand with open hearts.

Or we can let the chatterati do our thinking for us.

What's it gonna be? Because it's our test, too.
