"It's a new frontier," they say.
"It's wide open, anything can happen!"
But you've got a lot of nerve to call yourself a pioneer
when you're too goddamned conservative to take real chances.


In honor of this little witticism I leave you with a teeny tiny political commentary: I love how both sides say they won the debate.

I only saw the last half-hour, but I saw no evidence that anybody won it.

I saw it, the whole thing. Where I was last night didn't get ESPN so I couldn't watch the Twins/Yanks game.

Bush definitely won Most Improved, and they both get the Showed Up award. I don't know (or care) who won because I decided who I was voting for (or, more accurately, not voting for) the day we invaded Iraq.

well, yes, who won doesn't affect who I'm voting for either, but it would be nice to know that my candidate of lack-of-choice was able to beat this goober in a debate.

And "win" here is a doubly-defined term. In a general debatey sense, the guy who wins was the one who got his point across better, the one who tore holes in the other guy's arguments better, the guy who was more gracious when he was doing well and more forthright when he wasn't.

In the political sense, the winner of the debate is the one who actually swings the direction of the vote (in his direction). I have generally seen Kerry in the lead in the first kind of winning (though not nearly enough of one to "win") and no evidence that the debates have had any effect on the candidate each individual is planning to vote for.

In the past 10 days, various state and national polls have reported about a 4-10 point swing in vote share towards Sen. Kerry.
