Notes From A Conference Room Floor

Cokie Roberts

She's fantastic. I respect her. Don't get me wrong. But she's been going on about the 2004 election for half an hour now, and I'm pretty sure that she's not going to talk about anything else--unless she really changes course here in the next five minutes. And I'm wondering. Was Cokie *really* the best choice to kick off a security conference? She began by telling some joke about how she was comfortable talking about this because she worked with so many hacks, attacks, and, um, I forget. It was lame. And then she felt the need to explain it. And to tell us that Ralph Nader was a Trojan Horse. Get it? Trojan Horse? And then she threw in the obligatory joke about Al Gore inventing the Internet. And then talked politics for half an hour. Interesting, but, who gives a wet wombat?

So.

What did I learn? Dubya's going to be re-elected. The Senate is going to probably go Republican. The House is going to be overwhelmingly Republican, thanks to the redistricting (a program hatched by Newt). And President Bush will never propose a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. Never. Or at least, not until after he's re-elected. You heard it here first.
