Everyone should know by now that political campaigns are monstrously huge multi-headed creatures that aren't under the direct control of the individuals running for office. (Anyone interested in politics should have seen <A HREF="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0068334/" REL="nofollow">The Candidate</A> at least once.) But both sides are now so eager to excuses to take offense that anything said by any surrogate is held up as representing the candidate...and the candidates are drawn into answering these proxy attacks.

Wretch like I did when Bush was elected (well kinda elected) and then re-elected.Jeanrwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03556754369085266094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17324569.post-24883796770751539082008-01-13T23:18:00.000-05:002008-01-13T23:18:00.000-05:00That's it exactly!
