“You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose,” Clinton said, quoting Mario Cuomo. (1/7/2008)Now, this is a decent quote, it sounds nice and after you think about it and it sinks,it feels right (although in the context of the campaign, she has more often campaigned in "prose" while Barack Obama campaigns in "poetry").
The unusual thing is that last night - Sunday - I watched the West Wing season 3 special features, and Bill Clinton had a couple of moments where he talked about the show for the vignette on the accuracy of the set, themes, etc. of the show, and he said the exact same quote!

"You campaign in poetry, but you govern in prose"Surely not a big deal but I had to say somthin' solely due to the unusualness of this. Okay one more thing: go Barack on Tuesday!
