Jeez, I was hoping someone would say that.  I 
wonder if I am the only person who couldn't
tell the difference between those two guys.  I often thought
all that senator guy would have needed to win was to 
differentiate himself, in some meaningful way, from the 
incumbent.  I even listened to all the debates, still couldn't 
tell them apart, other than one was taller.  It was a rerun
of 2000.
