BooMan wants the blogosphere (espcially the progressive blogosphere) to “grow up.” From his conclusion:

Barack Obama doesn’t want to discuss John McCain’s military service. It is not a narrative that benefits him. He doesn’t want his allies gratuitously attacking the military and its generals. That is not an association that helps him. It’s nothing personal. It’s strictly politics. And if your ego gets bruised everytime the candidate stiff-arms an off message progressive, you best get into another line of work.

It’s a great post, all around, making the “Best of the Blogs” list this morning at RCP. And, in many ways, it echoes TMV’s own Shaun Mullen (or vice versa, or both).
