STEP RITE UP AND TAKE YER CHOICE -- Just A Minute for 06-04-08 Wednesday

Howdy Again Folks…

Gathering around the lunch counter at the Bait Shop and Sushi Bar in Playfair on the Carolina line are the political experts of the border land. It costs nothing to play and everybody’s got an opinion… sometimes two or three and often they don’t agree… even with *themselves* but nobody ever said the Scots-Irish backed away from a good lively discussion – even when it involved crossed swords…or cross words.

In any case, there’s plenty of time to chew it all over… and it will be! Harold Ickes in the Hillary camp says it will go on right up until the Credentials Committee meets in Denver just before the Convention.

Those who are NOT full time political junkies would just as soon go on to something else… but no such luck. It’s going to be here through the leaf-falling season I fear. And the script is going be rather shop-worn and dog-eared before the real election gets here.

Meanwhile there are still important and meaningful primary elections on the local and regional level that deserve attention. It’s just the carpet has already become so worn everyone but the die-hards would just as soon go fishin’ or lying out in the hammock in the shade or most anything but hear another Obama, McCain, Clinton go ‘round… we’ve heard it *all* before – at least we think we have. I have to say though the most riveting videos I’ve seen originate in the Chicago vicinity – but even they get tiresome after the 20^th loop.

Anyone care for a grass-roots campaign to limit campaigning to 4 weeks before the election as the British do?

Thanks for coming by.

Cordially, IN HIM

Jack
