    Honestly, he's staying on target and not fucking this up really. It's not good or inspiring, but the delivery is competent.

    ugh fuck that "politically correct" phrasing bullshit. I just automatically translate it to "treating people with respect" in my head like Neil Gaiman recommends.

    They couldn't even have 35 fake flags in a row. They had to cut and mirror them over.

    I would wager that she's never voted before and has no idea about which party supports what.

    Candidates get them early. Obama had them like a week after he announced, for obvious reasons.
