From a Democrat's perspective..

As a registered Democrat who voted for the vigorously
principled Ralph Nader as a protest against the corrupt,
cynical superstructure of my party, I was mortified by the
atrocious behavior of Democratic operatives in the first
days after last week's abortive election. What callous,
deceitful inflaming of popular passions, what reckless
disregard of the public good!

Given the sensitivity of the situation as well as the
closeness of the election nationwide, the strident and
premature claims of racial bias by Jesse Jackson (for whom
I voted in the 1988 primary) on his intrusive visits to
Florida did serious damage to race relations in this
country. Furthermore, the high-level Democratic decision to
make Gore campaign manager William Daley a principal point
man in the dispute was -- given his Chicago family's
notorious political history -- foolish and needlessly
divisive. A hoarse, exhausted Karen Hughes, the normally
articulate, high-intensity spokeswoman for the Bush
campaign, was also excessively harsh in the first 48 hours
of the crisis.
