    Are you “Between Barack and a Hard Place” or “Over the Hillary”?

    By CJP | February 18, 2008

    dictionary.jpg Do you feel like you're ready to jump into the pundit-sphere and go toe-to-toe with Ann Coulter? Us neither. But are you looking for a few whiz-bang words and phrases to make talking politics as unpredictable and fun as Campaign 2008? Then take out your pad and paper and get ready for "Daily Candy's" handy guide of election lexicon, the bons mots sure to make you the most clever participant in any political conversation. Here are some of our favorites:
    • "Between Barack and a hard place"- n. the sphere in which undecided Democrats linger to contemplate the electability of candidates.
    • "It takes a village idiot"- phr. a Washington proverb.
    • "20/20 vision"- n. the media’s tendency to blow small issues totally out of proportion for the sake of news show fodder.
    • "Over the Hillary"- n. undecided voter syndrome wherein the desire to see a woman in the White House is overrun by one’s dislike for Hillary. (CJP note: Ouch.)
    For the full list, go on over to "Daily Candy" and savor the sweet and salty sayings. Even though some people think "words are cheap," we think a well-turned tag is worth its weight in gold. Enjoy! [Daily Candy]
