The Democratic Other

A Republican learns to respect her congressman:

Today, Lincoln came to the Grundy Rotary meeting. His explanation on the auto bridge loan was dead-on worthy of an attaboy. His focus was the 123 supply companies (and multi thousands of jobs) that would go out of business in his district if the Big 3 went thru bankruptcy. As the old saying goes…all politics are local. That explanation hit home.

I’ve known Lincoln since Spring ‘03 when we attended a dinner at the Icelandic Embassy in DC right after his election. Politics is a small world and I have learned to appreciate Lincoln as a person. And that will make it hard in 2010 if he decides to run for Governor. He is a good man.

So I guess the moral of the story is…don’t ever get to know your opponent in war.
