In an America of increasing political tensions and vehement rhetoric, it will be interesting to see how Charlie Crist, current governor of Florida, fares as an independent in the Senate race in 2010.
We must have more moderation in our politics, in order to broach greater cooperation and compromise among politicians. Only then can we fully realize the great power we have to resolve our...
