Just Between You And Me

Many of you have sent me notice that some person named Rush has been reading my blog and pretending like it's his work. Well, you'll keep getting the real scoop here, and getting it first. As for Huckabee's earlier panic, the Wyoming primary calmed him down quite a bit. I was able to launch campaigns (of my own kind) in several key districts, razing voting locations, sequestering church-goers, and generally intimidating family-types that would be likely to vote Huckabee. All quite successful.

I talked to him again this morning. Feeling much more confident that things were under his control, he is actually considering, "just going ahead and winning this thing." The downside, as I think I mentioned in the earlier post, is that in 9 years his professional life will be essentially over, and he's much too young for that. But, as I assured him, there's much more to life than one's profession. It can actually be quite nice to just disappear from the scene for a long time.

What really got him thinking, though, was McCain's victory speech. He read it from his written notes. There are very few people that can pull that off and still be interesting, let alone inspiring. McCain isn't one of them. So Mike's thinking maybe he'll just spare himself and the country from having to go through that. No promises, though. As of this morning he's still undecided.
