Every time that I watch one of these current day mud-slings, I think retro to the good old days when 2 contending candidates could share a stage, explain their contrasting positions so clearly that voters had a basis for choosing, and leave the stage as friends – just like they were when they walked in.
The year was 2000 and it was the Vice Presidential debate: Joe Lieberman and Dick Cheney.

The nation was ideologically divided … maybe not a divisively as today … but, there were stark contrasts in positions.
Still the men were willing and able to conduct themselves as statesmen …
