Remember, it could be worse...

Remember when Sen. "Macaca" Allen was hailed as the Reagan Second Coming and standard-bearer of the Republican Party, sure to be the GOP nominee for 2008? Remember that when you think that this year's crop isn't good enough. In a case of free association gone mad, the only thing that made me think of him was seeing machaca on the Mission Burrito menu this evening.

In other odd campaign observations, I noticed -- in what was actually aired of Duncan Hunter's goodbye speech -- that he had some sort of southern accent. He was born in Riverside, represents Alpine... where did the southern accent come from? Or is it a case of "when in South Carolina..."?
