Poll: Americans Not As Crazy As We Thought

Maybe people will say anything to a pollster, but it's still hard not to find this encouraging:

Americans say they'd be more wary about electing a president who served in George W. Bush's Cabinet than they would be about voting a gay man or a lesbian into office...Only 38 percent of the poll's respondents said they'd be "enthusiastic" or "comfortable" in voting for a presidential candidate who's a Mormon -- the same number who said they'd be OK with voting for a member of Bush's Cabinet.

Another twenty years and we could have us a civilized little country, just like...I dunno, Canada, or something.
