Huckabee is right...

about one important issue.

The American People have embraced civility in this election to a greater extent than any election since before Reagan.

Every state primary and caucus has reacted negatively to negative campaigning. Candidates are not allowed to be seen trying to make another candidate look bad as a person.

On both sides, Republicans and Democrats.

Edwards picked on Hillary, saying he and Obama were the guys. He was wrong.

Romney hammered on McCain. That turned out badly for him.

There is a competition between both Clinton and Obama, and Huckabee and McCain, to be seen as the nicest guy, resulting in a conversation among gentle-persons, a very aristocratic affair.

I wonder whether this trait will or can be extended into the general election.

Would
          that
                    be
       a great
               change,
          or
               what?
