We might actually get a real debate if just one half of the duopoly had to stand on stage against a third-party candidate.
Over at Washington Monthly, in a comment, Jeff II claims McKinney is as nutty as McCain is clueless. My response:
First, I cut third-party candidates more slack.
Second, other than her degree of indulgence of 9/11 Truthers, I don't consider McKinney "nutty". Maybe "taken with herself," re the Capitol Police pushing incident, but that's something entirely different.
Less "nutty" than claiming "clean coal" actually is; less "nutty" than taking big bucks from the nuke industry while claiming to be tough; less "nutty" than refusing to tie regulatory reform to the bailout.
But, "nutty" is a facile answer to prop up the two-party duopoly, I know. If you have real examples of her being "nutty," feel free to post them.
Which is part of the problem.
