Politics is kinda like…

…Professional wrestling.  It is all about the story line of the day, no one remembers the last story line.  To change the story all a wrestler has to do is change costumes and entrance music.  Take Mark Dayton for instance.  No one remembers that he was a (self-admittedly) poor senator.  Wait a little while, change costumes and here you go – great candidate for governor.  Republicans were in charge of Congress and/or the Presidency For a good portion of the 2000s.  The story line then was exploding deficits, unpaid for wars and large debt.  Wait a couple of years and you have the party of fiscal discipline.  I guess it is now the American way to have an attention span of 16 seconds – but … if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten (great quote, I don’t know the originator).
