The Republican Convention: Culture Wars Redux
As Sarah gets ready for her big speech, the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland laments the return of the non-issues that have dominated so many recent US campaigns: “Obama made his name four years ago with a speech that called for an end to the civil war of red against blue. In 2008, he urged a different kind of election, one that would match the gravity of the hour. But the naming of Sarah Palin, and the reaction it has provoked, has dashed that hope. Americans are, once again, fighting over the questions that politics can never really settle – faith, sexuality – and pushing aside the ones that it can. And which it must.”
