NCR Today: It is not a time for Democrats to be purists. When one considers how divided the country is, it makes no sense to insist on getting everything you want.
We say: The real significance of the midterm results lies deeper in the details of who won, where the Democratic wins occurred beyond the national offices, and how it all happened.
Distinctly Catholic: If the Democrats muster the courage to elect new leaders to be the face of the party, and they adopt a big tent on social issues, they might even win some of the rural districts they continued to lose last night.
As the nation votes today, our entire way of life is killing us and the planet. We need a whole new way of thinking about faithful citizenship that is directed towards renewing the face of the Earth.
