From a piece called “The Dude Vote” by Edward McLelland of Salon.com, by way of the Star Tribune.
“I wish [Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama] could run together,” [blogger Thomas] Stodder swoons. “They’d be like one of those old 1970s cop shows — the crusty old seen-it-all guy who goes by his gut, partnered with the brilliant rookie who’s got courage to match his brains.
“They both seem like leaders to me. … If they end up running against each other, I don’t yet know which way I’d go. But if only one of them is in the race, that’s the one I’m voting for.”
If “Saturday Night Live” was smart, they’d have six or seven sketches based on this premise in the can for summer. I don’t know if I’m proud of this or not, but I would SO go see that movie. I see Hillary Clinton as the “by the rules” precinct captain. By all means, use the comments section to suggest titles. Here’s mine: “Joint Powers.”
