ANDERSON'S VIEW: Two days off, two candidates still on...
I must admit, I am very excited today.

This will be the first full weekend I have off in a month and a half. No plane delays, no interviews, no primaries to cover.

I’m not complaining. I love my work, and compared to most people’s jobs, mine is very easy. But I forget how nice it is to actually get two days off in a row.

Can you imagine what it must be like for the candidates? They have been running nonstop, and the general election hasn’t even begun.

It was interesting last night to hear people’s reactions to Senator Clinton’s closing comments. She got high marks for what she said about wounded warriors from just about everyone we talked to, many saying that’s the side of herself she should be showing more of.

It’s the same thing people said about her getting more personal in New Hampshire – when she said she “found my voice.”

I still don’t quite understand what happened between then and now. Did she lose her voice along the way? Was it drowned out by advisers or policy debates?

Can she get it back, or is it too late?

I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts, and if you have any recommendations about what to do on a weekend, I wouldn’t mind hearing them. I’m sort of out of practice.

Weekends are great!
You can spend time with your family, have a romantic dinner with your partner.
And if the children are away, you have a whole day for "the night time bang bang".

Other than that, you can spend weekends on Gaia, posting in the GD.
There's also Facebook, with the OMG widget and stuff. Oh yeah, Facebook's great for stalking.

Or you can Myspace, post some "emo" pictures of yourself, y'know.

You can go fishing, but try not to overfish because the supplies of salmon on the Atlantic and Pacific coast are depleting as it is.

And the best pastime is giving gifts to people like me. etc.
