"Ah Did Not Have Sex with That Woman..."

Personally, I think plenty of Dems will stay home, or uniformally vote out the incumbents.

All the words in the world mean little when you've lost voters' basic trust. And that finger wagging? Remains to be seen how effective this message is, when we all remembered how true that other full-throated passionate denial turned out to be...

In a way,
Bill Clinton's escapades begat a President George W. Bush. (The media might forget the disgust of those days; plenty of people, I suspect, don't.) And President Bush's performance was so low, voters gambled on an unknown, simply to again clean house. This one promised to bring us back home again, but his people pretty much followed President Bush's miserable lead.

Here we are again then. The pretty talk, the promises, the denial.

Will it work? Are voters maturing in their old age, and the kids of today cynical enough not to fall for the simple seduction?

We shall see. It's game on in this new media world, with the traditional opinion-makers holding less sway, and the playing board on past promises pretty much wiped clean.

Like an etch-a-sketch, come to think of it...
