She’s Right

As I was listening to the Montana Senate Debate last night My Darling Wife made a very good observation.<br />n<br />nMDW: You know hon, you can't change your vote so why are you listening.<br />n<br />nShe was right, as usual. My Absentee Ballot is all ready turned in so even if something major happened, I can't change anything, I have to live with my decision.<br />n<br />nI guess I just had to listen though. The Montana Lefty Blogs had built up the other Debates for Senate but they have been very quiet about this one. I wanted to listen to see if I could figure out the Lefties silence on this debate as compared to the others.<br />n<br />nI didn't figure out the reason for the silence but it was interesting to watch and listen and see the demeanor of the candidates. Burns was having his usual proplem of staying on topic but I think any politician that has been around as long as he has suffers from this problem. Burns's stage presence was better than Tester for sure. Testers lacks some panache that Burns has, but it is something he will gain if he wins. Being a professional politician, which he will be if he wins, will give him the experience he is so painfully lacking at the moment. He will learn to dodge questions too.<br />n<br />nNo winners, no losers, just an interesting debate.<br />n<br />n<strong>The vote is a trust more delicate than any other, for it involves not just the interests of the voter, but his life, honor and future as well.
