Caucus Night Speech Summaries |
|
EDWARDS: Yargh. They're up there sittin' on all that gold, throwin' the piss down on us in bucketfuls. Let's go up there and git 'em!
HILLARY: NCLB. Bad! Oh, and another thing: War in Iraq. Bad! I almost forgot. Troops. Good. Oh, did I mention health insurance? Good, right? I almost forgot what I believe. I believe in good things. Oh, and we should improve the highways. I almost forgot that one.
HUCKABEE: What's behind me is in front of me and all the people who came before us are behind us and we love those in front and behind and especially behind and the others that came before came ahead and behind.
ROMNEY: Pfffffffft!
OBAMA: We're gonna come at 'em from the right. We're gonna come at em from the left. We're gonna come at 'em from the middle. Because hope is what built this nation; hope is what keeps us together, hope is what makes the world go round, hope is the ultimate aphrodisiac, hope is what taught me anaphora - imagine it, the son of a Kenyan and a Kansan learning ancient Greek rhetorical tactics, imagine it, using anaphora in Chicago, in Des Moines, in Washington, using anaphora in the pool halls and beer halls and government halls all over this great state, using anaphora at the podiums and stadiums and arboretums of America. Thank you Iowa!

I'm a Torre/Tino/Bernie/O'Neill/EtAl kinda dude. Most of all I admire your elan about the whole thing...the (percieved, by me) standard of discourse. Prolific posting may earn the ignores by some, but in my case I was (am) in agreement with your greater thesis.
((Apologies to others for the off-topic, but well-deserved, props herein...I know, I know: "Get a room, you two!"))
