It has become fashionable for politicians to fall back on the whine, "I'm not winning because I'm a victim of (fill in the excuse)...." Reminds me of a great old Sean Connery line: The Rock quotes Stanley Goodspeed: I'll do my best. John Mason: Your "best"! Losers always whine about their "best"! Winners go home and ***k the prom queen. Whatever happened to candidates winning elections by winning them with ideas and charisma and organization? But no, as soon as a race gets close, the whining machine starts up and we get pulled down to the weeds. If Clinton hadn't screwed around, Gore would have won. If whatever, Kerry would have won. If the press was fairer, Hillary would be the nominee now. Winners go out and get it done. The rest really is just whining, IMHO.
