Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

We faced a Hobson's choice back in 1996. Either vote for Bob Dole or stay home.

I think the word you're looking for is sammitch.

excellent idea, by the way, SG! kudos! I had been thinking that maybe we should do something with phrases like this one, and Focault's Pendulum, Occaam's razor etc,

Hobson's choice?

Now, is that one word? Or three?

Dole was "anointed" by the repubbie-powers-that-be, probably the worse pres candidate possible running against a demo candidate who could have been defeated!

(Clinton won strictly because of Perot's siphoning off opposition votes TWICE. I'm just not sure yet what Perot got from the deals: Y2K contracts for his company?

Good word/phrase. IMHO, that's what we'll have on the next Pres. Election cycle. Presently we've no one in the Republican stables who has (what was it the Dems called it?) the "gravitas" to keep the WH. A Hobson's Choice: Hillary or the Runner Up.
