Editorial
Whose Century Is It Anyway?
January 7, 2008

The general election for president is still a ways off, but the New Hampshire primary campaign is providing a preview of the ultimate contest. So far, it’s not looking so good for the Republicans.

On Saturday night, ABC News held back-to-back debates among the candidates for each party’s nomination. The contrasts were vivid.

The six Republicans, who came first, were a study in grays, hunched over their desks like the officers of some restricted men’s lodge. The only signs of life came when they all poured disdain on Mitt Romney — Iowa’s big spender and big loser — or Ron Paul, who is so far behind in the polls we wondered why they bothered.

Then came the four Democrats: the woman, the African-American, the Hispanic American, the coiffed Southern lawyer. They seemed younger, livelier and clearly to be living in 21st-century America.

1. Another comparison:

Democrats:

We vote, if the weather is nice, if we can get a ride to the polls and back, if we have time, if we have nothing better to do, if we get the day off work, if we're sober.

Republicans:

They vote.




Dumb joke, I know, but we will need to get out the vote.

6. Should He Shave His Head?

Would that stop these stupid comments from the press? This editorial put no adjectives in front of the others but Edwards gets 'coiffed.' Gits.
