Until a few days ago I was 'feeling' confident that Claire would be defeated. AND I was working through the notion of voting for the GOP-e crowned candidate.
I have a tough enough time dealing with my own inadequacies. And then having gone through the worst drought in my living memory, along with a desert like blasting heat. I never saw this coming. I blindly had 'faith' all the 'pro-life' stalwarts knew what they were doing... And here I find out I do not even understand their language.
Have you ever heard the song by Red Rider with the lyric:
“I have wandered... through the desert... found the ocean... not the rain” ?
That lyric would seem to have multiple applications.
FWIW, your anaylsis of MO politics is spot on, so far as I can see. Who the heck do some of our Freepers think elected names like Carnahan, Gephardt, and Jay Nixon?
Slightly OT: We are still solidly in D4. You too?
