I kinda liked that during the debates, a time what it was hardscrabble 
and "get out of my face!" but the election seemed to have less of a New 
York relevance.  Life was just sort of going on all around the tired 
pundits.  Hume's approach, although a bit too sedated, did fit well with 
what could be described as collective apprehension and exhaustion.  Sad 
to see Brokaw round third and head for home. Sadder to see Dan Rather 
put himself in such a position as he rounds third, a news scandal for 
the election-ages.  Saddest to witness the melt-down of venerable Walter 
Cronkite who actually was not kidding when he suggested that Bush's 
campaign "architect" had a hand in the recently released OBL tape.  
Well, Walter, "That's #30#."
