It's re-election time again

It's re-election time again, re-election since it's mostly just signing up the incumbents for another ride. A lot can be gleaned from the words the hopefuls use. Howdy Doody (Bill McCollum) refers not to “the other candidate” but to his “opponent,” clearly demonstrating that he sees this as a fight for a job, a fight the taxpayers of course, in our irrelevancy, never can win. We are the prize.
