Fluffing

Edit Post
Once again, David Broder, aka "The Dean" steps up to fluff his pal McSame.
McSame keeps floating the non-starter idea of "town halls" that fit in with Broder's idea of centrism -- and because it's such a wonderful idea, Obama is bad for turning it down (like public financing)... essentially, the negative tone of the campaign isn't McSame's fault; it's Obama's!
Broder doesn't like "partisanship"... and he often talks about how the political parties don't reflect the "vast center". (Of course, "partisan" basically means anything that Democrats do that makes Republicans uncomfortable -- like complaining about BushCo's gutting of the Constitution or anything else that might disturb the elite chattering class of which he leads.)
