That accounts for a lot.

....is what I meant.

Of course Ralph is going to place Gore and Bush in the same 'establishment' camp in 2000.... He was running for office.

Now he's advocating, which is what he does best.

Here's a happy little tune I'm hoping the Obama campaign will pick up, but I'm not holding my breath. It was written for the '06 election cycle.

(hit the little 'play' arrow at the top of the page!)

The lyrics go like dis:

We Can Do Better ‘08 (for Barack Obama)

Cats and dogs got nothin' on us

The way we fight, the way we fuss

You say high, I say low

You say stop, I say no

We been walkin' on the dark side of the moon

But a change is due and it can't come too soon

I do believe (you and me together)

Together, we can do better

A brand new day together

Together, we can do better

Shake off the fear stand up to the night

Takes more strength to make love than it does to fight

The big wheel turns, it's comin' around

We're gonna find our feet on common ground

Rise above the strife and stress

With compassion and tenderness

Drop the gloves walk into the light

Takes more courage to make peace than it does to fight

I do believe (you and me together)

We can do better

A brand new day together

Together, we can do better

We been down so long it looks like up to me

And if it's up to me

I'll rise up and say I still believe!

Together, we can do better

A brand new day together

We can do better

You and me

Together, we can do better

A brand new day together

Together, we can do better

We can do better

You and me

While I agree that McCain was his usual cranky self and didn't achieve much in the debate, I think y'all ought to take a look at the replay. Right before Brokaw said 'You guys are blocking my script!' McCain and Obama came together and shook hands.

Having already shaken hands once was, apparently, enough for McCain. No big slight.

My 13 year old son, who loves most movies, agrees, saying of the remake: "That was a stinker."
