Lot of noise today over the RNC spending $150k on their VP candidate's wardrobe (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/21/rnc-has-spent-over-150000_n_136736.html). If it diverts funds from telecampaigning, I hope they spend more, and it's not my money so what do I care?
More importantly, the McCain camp also dropped some coin on a voice coach (http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1008/Get_Out_The_What.html?showall) to fix, among other things, her pronunciation of the word "nuclear". Even before I started working for The Society of Nuclear Medicine, the sound of someone saying "nook-u-ler" was fingernails across a chalkboard to me. Thus, I'm glad to hear they're fixing that.
Update! Oh crap. I just noticed the coaching took place before the convention, yet she slipped right back into "nook-u-ler" during the debate. Guess that money wasn't as well spent as I thought. [+/-] Hide/Show Text [+/-] Hide/Show Text

I like saying it that way. It's more fun and sounds cool to me.

As long as you're not in a national debate saying it, I'm cool with that.
