It builds character.

As I boarded the 4:42am train into New York this morning, I was reminded of a colorful explanation a friend of mine offered for why he supported Mike Huckabee: "Most politicians are fake as a drag queen's [...], but there are two kinds of character you can't fake: getting up before seven on a regular basis, and losing weight."

Maybe this means that the campaign should play up Sarah Palin's hunting record. When I was a more serious birdwatcher, I remember that, out at Lake Mattamuskeet during the winter bird count, the only other people in the diner at six AM were the hunters.
