Frank Bruni on Election Year 2008

In today's Times, Frank Bruni, the paper's restaurant critic, weighs in on the 2008 election:

Actually, more than weighing in, he simply weighs.

I link to it here mostly because it's interesting to see Bruni apply his mellow evaluation to the presidential campaign rather than a restaurant, and because I enjoyed his final, qualified pronouncement:

"The 2008 presidential election stands out from so many before it, and will have repercussions for so many after it, because it’s a decision about who can guide us through the worst of times. We’re in trouble if we get it wrong. And maybe even if we get it right."
