Tune in to your favorite political pundit tonight and you are sure to find that the old adage, avoid cliches like the plague, does not apply to politics. Here's a sampling:
This race is too close to call ( his bifocals need replacing)
Senator Flubber is ahead by a whisker (he hasn't shaved since the campaign started)
Color Ohio blue (even though they are seeing red over voting restrictions)
The Republicans and the Democrats are in a horse race for control of the House (they haven't heard that gambling on elections is illegal)
It looks like a clean sweep ( now they can start all over again)
John the Candidate has carried the state (that's what weight lifting will do for you)
His coat tails are not long enough (needs a good tailor on his staff)
Smith is trailing Johnson (he suspects him of cheating)
The early returns show a trend (it's a wild guess)
With 1% of the vote in we give Ohio to ??? ( that's generous of them)
The race for POTUS may be decided by SCOTUS (the fix is in)
Having said that, I'll turn the TV on and watch that great movie , "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" - it's full of good cliches.
Oh, I forgot. With the polls still open and 0% of the vote counted, I am going out on a limb and declare that Barak Obama will at the very least be President for the rest of the year and has a leg up on being elected to a second term.
