We're at that stage of the campaign season when the pundits will assure us that what really matters is which candidate makes you feel comfortable, is of your tribe, the one you'd want to have a beer with. Does he eat the kind of food you like to eat? Does he SEEM like he eats the food you like to eat?
I don't deny the reality of tribalism in our politics. It's very real and very powerful. But people who know better should take a few moments now and again to explain that ultimately it's policies that matter. Vote for the guy who is, say, less likely to starve your granny. Whoever that is.
