With only three weeks left, our support should be pretty much unquestioning
and totally positive. I'm serious.

Because there simply isn't enough time to think long-term anymore. We have to minimize damage for the very short term, and the best way to do that when you can't really fix it is to ignore it.

Yes, I'm saying it's puppies and candy from here on out.

1. puppies and candy? where's the beef?
If by puppies and candy you mean talking about the economy and what americans are concerned with, then i agree.

2. but I don't know that this should be put out as an edict
I understand where you're coming from. There are some issues I disagree with Obama on, and at this point in the election, I keep those things mostly to myself. But the word "unquestioning" goes against the DNA of many liberals, including me. I don't think that trying to codify this on a message board is a great idea.
