It keeps going... and going... and going...
Fresh (!) from last week's triumph finish in the Marine Corps Marathon in our nation's capital, we cap our cross-country season in the home town, with this weekend's ING New York City Marathon, where I'll be joining a few dozen thousand friends (I'll be wearing number 43 thousand something or other...) I'll be the one in the white baseball cap...
Alas, work commitments and other issues (see, e.g. above) have reduced blogging to... less than usual... but not to worry dear readers (those of you left...) there are more great interviews and other great stuff in the hopper... and should be up and posted in the near future.
Among the "other issues" is this here coming election. The Republicans are resigned to losing some seats, and indeed, possibly losing control of the House (though, if so, barely). I will say that I still have to give the GOP an edge in holding the senate, particularly given that it needs only "hold" two of three in MO and VA, where they have incumbents, and TN, where they have a very close race... We may take the Senate, but the House is where it's at. And frankly, a big enough rout in the House may put some unexpected senate seats in play. Not how you bet... and not the issue. We have to do what we can to take the likeliest wins...
So... I'm putting my money where my mouth is; last evening, I made some phone calls to voters in the district where Democrat Jack Davis is battling the Foley-tainted RNCC leader Tom Reynolds with our friends from Move-On, a group that has some of my time and some of my money, and I urge you'all to consider giving it yours.
On Tuesday, I plan on being down in PA poll-watching... helping to keep it clean...
And that's where we are. We're about three days to go. GO. Let's get it done. We're in a good position to restore some level of accountability to our national government, and maybe even restoring the Congress, which our Founders intended to be the strongest branch, to at least co-equal status with our running-amok executive. And if we don't this time, let's not it be for want of trying...

Have a great run!

I'll be out throwing water at you like you were Barbra Streisand doing her standup act.
