[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because his record of political performance is excellent.  Because he has been the most competent governor in modern memory.  Because - profoundly flawed as he may be or may have been or both - his performance has been verifiably focused on the protection of civil rights.  Because as flawed as his expressions of contrition have been, his efforts at remedies have been sweeping and successful.  Because he has not just met but has exceeded his promises on the way in.  Because at least some of the calls for his resignation have been highly questionable, self-serving, and not credible.

Do I think he’s the second coming?   Absolutely no.  But he has been an excellent governor.  And because there is NO way anyone can credibly claim that, whatever the Northam of 35 years ago was, it is the same Northam right now.  It isn’t.

So, understanding the defects, the fact is that I not only support him but I respect the job he is doing, and I’m glad he’s doing it.

That's fine but then let's stop feigning outrage at blackface and other forms of "not a big deal in the grand scheme of things" racism.[/quote]
