As the smoke clears from the battlefield after the first Nussle/Culver gubernatorial debate, In A Word had an opportunity to speak with Chet Culvers right hand man...er...hand.
In A Word: So, early reports indicate a virtual tie in the outcome of the debates. Is this good news for the Culver campaign, as it is generally accepted that he does not have very strong public speaking skills?
Chet Culver's Empathic Debate Fist: Lets just say it was a long night. Very long.
In A Word: Is that a hint of resignation in your voice?
Fist: Listen, I can only stress and emphasis the strong points and needless to say they were few and far between. You can't polish a turd.
In A Word: Fair enough but can you give examples?
Fist: Well, for instance when Chet was asked what his new state slogan would be, he answered "if I had to add one new slogan, I would say 'A Gold Mine of Opportunity.' What the hell? A gold mine of opportunity? I was stunned and to be honest I wasn't exactly sure Chet knew that he was running for the governor of Iowa and not California.
In A Word: Don't you think he was using "a gold mine of opportunity" as a metaphor for the great amount of promise in Iowa's future? Maybe even alluding to the golden looking fields during the harvest season...
Fist: ...
Fist: Do you realize Chet isn't all that deep right?
