The most important quality for a person engaged in public life is to know how to weather the storm, bearing in mind that in a very short space of time people will have forgotten all about whatever it was that embarrassed or humiliated the person in the first place.
To put it in a slightly different way, what would have to happen to induce us to vote in a way at variance with our long and deeply held convictions? Even more precisely, how long would the event have to happen before polling day? About five minutes?
Life is not so much a cabaret, chum, as a newsreel.
