I just hope while these two are 'debating' on the front lawn, McCain and Co doesn't sneak into the back door and change the locks on the White House.

"incomplete" as it is, it's a lot more insightful and impassioned than most of what passes for commentary that i've been reading. Much appreciated. Sure would be nice to have a politics "not as usual" someday, though.

But it's the phrase itself that's begun to irk me, it's just too much of a cutesy appropriated regionalism. Though when I first heard it applied to Bush, I thought it was smart and pretty funny.

I appreciated your take on many issues. On the "all hat, no cattle" comment, the moderator was the one who brought it up, noting that Clinton had used it to refer to Bush (not Obama, as widely assumed). Clinton declined to apply it to Obama, saying that "our next president needs to be a lot less hat and a lot more cattle". So I think your distraction led you to be unfair here. (However, Clinton did mention the state senator who was unable to name anything Obama did.) Thanks for the summary! I appreciated your take on many issues.
