Colorful Distractions

Between Arnold and the Red Sox its a wonder a presidential candidate can get any attention these days. But you wouldn't know that driving the backroads of Lyme, NH, festooned in glorious fall foliage. There were nearly as many Howard Dean signs on the lawns as there were leafpeepers out and about over the Columbus Day weekend. Howard seems to have a visible advantage in this western NH Dartmouth country. But not a lot of new news has been finding its way through baseball and California.
I wonder whether the California Governor theatre might have an effect on the way people are viewing politics. Might it make them more feisty and eager to hold elected officials accountable? Is this attitude having an impact on the recent slide in Bush's numbers? Will it feed more sympathy for the scrutiny the Democrats are bringing to all things Bush? We'll see, once Arnold leaves the talk show circuit and the Red Sox win the series.
