Frank Rich On 'Moral Values'

New York Times columnist Frank Rich takes on the notion of the "moral values" vote in a column (On 'Moral Values,' It's Blue in a Landslide) set for publication on November 14 (NYT, registration required).

He makes many good points, which I don't plan to get into here. One thought stood out for me:

Excess and vulgarity, as always, enjoy a vast, bipartisan constituency, and in a democracy no political party will ever stamp them out.

But maybe we can get together on a bipartisan basis to at least ease them?
