In other news, I'm pleased to see John Edwards' numbers climbing in South Carolina. I love that, despite the "win or go home" attitude the media seem to cling to, he realizes that he may very well take another third place finish there, and seems to know exactly how to move forward to Super Tuesday in that eventuality. And it's part of why I think he'd make a great President - the person in that office NEEDS a "long haul" mentality, because this country has big problems that can't possibly be solved with an easy or quick fix.
ETA: I didn't watch the Republican debate last night, but I have seen the clip of Mitt Romney's comment, remarking on the possibility of Hillary Clinton as President, that he didn't like the idea of "Bill Clinton, living in the White House, with nothing to do." Um, sir - is that really your impression of what it means to be the spouse of the President? That women like Eleanor Roosevelt, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, and Mrs. Clinton herself were "living in the White House, with nothing to do"?
