Right on, Quin! I've been wondering for quite a while when a piece like this would appear in TAS. We who write LTEs, are only responders, and this needed to be said.

p>You only get one chance at this, Fred, ONE CHANCE! It's not 1976. You won't have 1980 to try again. So, tell Jeri to put a little jalapeno in your orange juice, 'cause it ain't workin' neat. br> -- Mike Showalter br> Austin, Texas /p>

To date, it's been more like "jelly in the belly."

What happened to the Lincoln-Douglas debates Fred proposed a month or two ago? Gov. Huckabee replied "game on," but Fred juked and waffled -- and left nothing but vapor trails in the distance.

What happened to a "different kind of campaign"? Is this it? Is this what I have been keeping my powder dry for?
