"There's an old rule in politics: if you're explaining, you're losing"

The above quote has been used by many people, most famously by Karl Rove during the 2004 election when talking about a badly-told joke made by John Kerry about the military.


Well.... today John McCain has been spending a lot of time "explaining" what he meant by "fundamentals".

Obama/Biden are on offense today. McCain/Palin are on defense.


We won the day.
