Matter of Opinion

Four things I learned at the debate

1. If McCain were victorious, "my friends" would become more annoying than "my fellow Americans" ever was. And that's saying something.

2. And starting sentences with "and" -- followed by a pause -- would begin to grate, too. Yeah, I'm talking about That One.

3. The unexpected is something that McCain doesn't know about. A startling admission.

4. The repetition signals that it's time to vote. Got that, you uncommitteds?

A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
