    tom sexton said this thing once–which i think he attributed to someone else–that when it comes to politicking it doesn’t matter what you say. it doesn’t even matter how you say it. what matters is what people felt when they heard you say it.

    i think about that shit a lot and i’ll be goddamned if it doesn’t ring more and more true every year.
