It's so not a national issue.

Agree on not asking. Disagree on not answering - ty97 Jul 22, 18:36 6
- See my answer below. I really doubt anyone would have faulted him for backing out of the question since it's about a friend. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:38 5
  - Your IM nails it. The punditry would label him a weak, no-backbone liberal who won' take a stance. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 18:54 4
    - What would be weak is if he starts holding back out of fear of what the pundits might say about him. - Dr.Vermin Jul 22, 19:16 1
      - True. I hope politicans don't ever start acting like that. -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 19:21
    - I actually disagree, I think a lot might have actually applauded him for not involving himself - Stephen Jul 22, 19:06
    - Rush is going to go after him any way. - Inigo Jul 22, 18:57
His full answer took it from the specific to the broader issue of race and profiling and how, even with strides being made, race is still an issue. - TWuG Jul 22, 18:35
