I’ll say it again (and this time I’ll spell his name right). Pete Buttigieg. Secretary of the Department of Transportation. Naval officer. Rhodes Scholar. Sensible Democrat. Why not? Because he’s married to a man (who would make a great second man, incidentally) with twins. It’ll be a long time before the country will go for that. Too long.

WanderingSioux Sep 27 “on the campaign trail, standing just behind her and to the left, making appropriate facial expressions…” Yes! That would be suitable for a candidate’s spouse. However, reading that, the opposite image jumped to my mind! In the past decade, Hillary Clinton ran for president against a tall man. During a televised debate, every time that Hillary was speaking, her opponent “Shadowed her” – keeping in line with the angle of the TV camera, and glowering down on her. She actively moved around the stage, but couldn’t shake “The Ghost of Times Past” at all. It was such a distracting performance, I couldn’t recall a word she’d said, even right after her turn was completed. Shades of things to come.
