He pointed out that the phrase "cutting govetnment" is nebulous (my word)...vague

You have to highlight individuals affected. Examples:
Do you really want to cut fire fighters?
Do you really want to cut food to kids? (yeah, we know some cruel people do)
Bringing the real effects on various populations, and environments to The Piblic.

You, Go, Gov Waltz! TY! TY, Rachel!

Technically Gore and Cheney can run again though, but obviously that's not happening (especially with Cheney). Side note: Cheney is the only VP in 50 years (Spiro Agnew was the last) that never ran for President (Rockefeller ran before becoming VP).
