Yeah, ever moreso each day. The thing is, most smart people can fake open-mindedness with relative ease, but the knowledge and ability to discuss all sides of every issues only makes on informed, not necessarily open-minded. Ultimately, writing/voting on legislation is the only thing that matters anyway, and that is a lot easier to fake, because there is a record of all of it. Look at Rolands response to Ghav saying Brown was "OK for a Republican" because so moderate: He talks a good game, but voted with his party against "radical" things like Obamas jobs bill, and his re-election could have made Mitch McConnell Senate Majority Leader.
