I’ve been out. Those of you who’ve sent me email know this because my email box has been bouncing your missives for the last few hours because it’s been full since midnight.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking about the speech and it’s been growing on me. I still think they left some chips on the table. But I think many around here might be right. This is a speech by a grown up. And if that’s what voters take away, that helps him.
