The Contrast Democrats Should Aim For

Read this story about a high-profile GOP governor being charged by prosecutors for violating ethics rules and accepting gifts from special interests. Then, read this story about a Democratic governor removing someone from their position after revelations that he had connections to a corporate lobbying firm. The first story shows a corrupt Republican Party, the second shows a Democratic Party willing to back up its clean-government pledges with serious action. That is the contrast Democrats should be working to sharpen all over America.
