There's something missing from the Dems' gathering in Iowa:

There is no clown car.

We should be damned proud of that.

In the throes of enthusiasm for a favorite candidate one might be inclined to get carried away tearing down competitors. So it might be a good idea to stand back once in awhile and consider the fact that no matter who gets the Dem nomination, that person will be normal and sane and responsible. If the candidate you support does not get the nomination you'll be disappointed, but there's no reason to be horrified because the winning Dem candidate will be qualified and will not be a lunatic. There is no clown car and there are no clowns. That's something.
