Member Comment of the Day: "Relax, Ricochet"
Ricochet member Matthew Gilley tells us all to settle down:
I've been waiting for a chance to throw this out there, and now that I actually have a few free minutes I'll do it: Can we please stop the vertiginous swings between ecstatic puppy love for Candidate X immediately followed by a plunge into utter despair when we discover Candidate X just sunk while trying to walk on water?
Honestly. Pawlenty opposed ethanol subsidies in Iowa!!! All praise unto him! Oh wait - he's paid homage to climate changers!?!? Well, let's forget that hypocritcal gasbag. Hey wait! That Herman Cain fellow is making some sense! Huh? What did he say about Israel? Never mind. Newt's back!!! He's going to resurrect the magic of '94! Oh, yeah -- couldn't stand him before, don't think I can this time, either.
Seriously, we look like my dogs running headlong around our backyard, distracted by and breaking off to chase each new squirrel that happens to saunter by. Let's kick back and enjoy the show a bit while these folks get to work trying to win our votes. We don't need to make up our minds today. Relax.
You know, that sounds like solid advice. Thank you, Matthew, for talking some sense into me.

Thanks for the re-post, Claire. Samwise, your thoughts are kind but before you invest too much emotion you should know I may have purchased produce in the past from something called a "co-op." The slightest indiscretions derail the largest dreams....

Wise words indeed. Herman Cain out because he doesn't understand the intricacies of the Arab-Israeli conflict? Surely there are several much better reasons to view his candidacy with skepticism. Frankly, I was far more disturbed that the current POTUS doesn't know how to pronounce "corpsmen." C'mon, Mr. President: Like, as in "Marine Corps." Heard of them, right? Now *that* was truly unsettling.
Let's just chill. As Rob Long said in a recent podcast, let's all have a nice relaxing summer, and then let's watch for a promising candidate to emerge, say, right around Labor Day. Between now and then, the press will just eat the front-runners alive anyway.
