It's Tuesday in New Hampshire and Raining in Saint Plotniko



This morning, The Great Plotnik woke up feeling nervous about Barack Obama, and then realized that's a good thing. We all have to realize that if we really do want to see business done in a totally new way in this country, it's not going to be a comfortable process.

Last night, Obama was on The Daily Show. John Stewart asked him about the 'experience' issue. Obama had a great answer: "Experience can be overrated. Nobody had more experience than Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld."

So if we want to swim we're all going to have to be willing to get wet. It's easy to do that in Saint Plotniko today -- it's rainy, cold and dreary. Tonight is the New Hampshire Primary and then we get down to serious business after that.

Wow - that IS a nice line!

I just watched the Andrew Jackson story from PBS a few nights ago, and he was definitely one without experience. Those were different times (before his election, normal people didn't even vote!), and Andrew was a LONG way from being a saint, but he's an example of an outsider getting in and getting things done.
