Hellary should realize she is in deep doo-doo....

..... when her opponent gets applause just for blowin' his nose. My momma used to pat me on the head when I blew my nose instead of wiping it, but I never got an ovation for the act. From the Tribune's Washington Swamp (blog):

Even blowing his nose, Obama gets applause

by John McCormick

DALLAS – It's probably safe to say that you have arrived as a politician when your audience applauds when you blow your nose.

Yes, just a day before a debate in Texas, Sen. Barack Obama has a head cold.

And about a half-hour into a speech here, the Illinois Democrat announced that he had to take a quick break. "Gotta blow my nose here for a second," Obama said.

Out came a Kleenex (or perhaps it was a hankie), and he wiped his nose.

The near-capacity audience at the Reunion Arena, which his campaign said totaled 17,000, broke out in a slightly awkward applause.

Despite the cold, Obama's voice seems as strong as ever. He has a light schedule today and some time to rest up before his debate Thursday evening with Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York.

Ain't no tellin' what the crowd of true believers would do if he shared any of his other bodily functions. Kinda like goin' back to the days of that paragon of good manners and etiquette, LBJ!!
