From a reader:

K-Lo–
I find that I agree with the Governor Daniels “truce” position more than most of you. While social issues are important, and we can’t abandon them, the war on terror, the budget calamity, and now the oil spill are big things that we need to concentrate on. It really is about prioritizing, despite what Geraghty indicated today. We have a president who aims to be all things to all people. This is especially true for us small government conservatives who think the federal government shouldn’t be as involved in some of these issues as they are (though I concede we must fight the battle when it is faced).
Then I saw another video of Governor Christie explaining in blunt terms the hard road facing New Jersey. Haven’t he and the Democrat majority legislature in New Jersey essentially called a “truce” on some things to solve the really big thing, i.e., no money?
