Sorry I haven't written about the governor's race lately. There's not much news being made, and I've been on the oil spill story... There’s only one choice here far we can see, and it’s ain’t Davis.

I always thought he was a Republican, but his name has come up in certain circles...

"Divide and conquer" sums up those motives, a maxim from ancient times, Roman I think. Consensus, integrity and strengthened electoral competition through liberalized ballot access and term limits would dramatically change the political landscape in the US. As opined elsewhere by me, Obama's election represents a paradigm shift showing movement in that direction. But, alas, more than 85% of Congress will be headed back to DC after the holidays, along with all of the lobbyists.
