This message will put me over my limit for the day so I'll just put it out there for others to comment on.

I read the revolting lead editorial in _The Nation_ of the issue with the Lewinsky sillouete on the cover. It was a call for people to support The Working Families Party candidate Vallone in the coming election. My simple question for supporters of this strategy is this:

Why has *every* account I've read in favor of this candidate start off by saying "we know Vallone's a sleazebag, but the WFT is cool and you should vote for him"? I mean, if the WFP is so damn righteous, why couldn't they find a more respectable standard bearer?
