Oddly, his is the first presidential campaign I recall--NOT that Aunty was able to vote--but I 'member mah daddy sayin' "not in a century of Sundays"...an' he meant folks was too blind to see what was comin' round the mountain.
Well, you know what they say about the only good politician being a dead politician. But, seriously, the only time I wish one would actually rise from the dead.
