post Primary Day thoughts

I don't know who James Freeman Clarke is, and haven't taken the time to 'google' him. . . . Following yesterday's primary election here in the States, I wonder how many statesmen may have been made? Chances are, we won't know until the next generation.

A politician is a man who thinks of the next election; 

while the statesman thinks of the next generation.
