Dick needs to get a new life & find a new whipping boy- Go Vols and VT- it’s a big football universe and who really cares; at the end of the day- it’s entertainment, isn’t it?
However,, now that the tally is in, your pitfall is that you keep a running tally as you go forward. That would be a big mistake because at some point you’ll feel ‘obligated’ to write something positve, or negative on one of the candidates to simply balance the ongoing score, and that would be highly insincere and irresponsible as a journalist.
We’ve all had an 18 month ‘sales job’ done on us with little detail on how each will accomplish the fullfillment of their presidential promises, and by the way; who was the last President that actually followed through.
We all know the issues, and there are many- help us demand the details and help us analyze them in terms of their relevence and the candidates’ ability to execute.
Let’s dispense with the analysis of Oprah, whether the flags were stolen or discarded from Denver, vetting of Palin and all the perceptual ‘sound bites’ the campaign managers want us to hear to continue the ‘sales job’.
We need an Executive Branch that will lead this nation with OUR best interests in mind with truth, honor, integrity and for the good of the people that will foster the development of a better planet far into the future.
The campaign is a process leading to an event- the election. If we let the process fall out of focus, the conclusion of the culminating event (the election) will be out of focus as well, and there is too much at stake, and we, the people, are the stake-holders. This is a very important election, as they all are.
And, oh yes, I’ll take the Vols in a TN/ VT bowl game.
