imary. I am. If an argument is "academic," it is not important in the real world, but only in theory. In this case, Palantine is saying it’s already obvious he will win the election against Goodwin. How do you feel your campaign is going? A political "campaign" is a series of political, business or military actions all related to a single big goal (In this case, to win an election). The people are rising to the demands that I have made of them. Note that all American politicians love to refer to "the people," even though people in general have widely varying ideas and viewpoints. The people are beginning to rule. I feel it as the crowds swell. "To swell" is to increase or grow rapidly. This is another one of Palantine’s silly campaign lines in which he implies the people in general have all decided to support him. It will rise to an unprecedented swell in November. If something is "unprecedented," nothing like it has ever happened before (In this case, the desire of the people has never been so strong). Note that November is the month US Presidential elections are held. June 8th. My life has taken another turn again. If life "takes a turn," something dramatic happens. One day indistinguishable from the next. If two things are "indistinguishable," they are so similar that one cannot tell them apart. Hey Travis, this here is Easy Andy. He’s a travelling salesman. A "travelling salesman" is a person who travels from house to house, business to business, or perhaps city to city, selling various goods. 44 magnum.

"Premium" means of the highest quality, and if a gun is a "high resale weapon," it sells for a high price used because it is such good quality. I could sell this gun to some jungle bunny in Harlem for $500, but I just deal high quality goods to the right people. "To deal" means to sell. This is Easy Andy’s ridiculous and racist way of saying that while he could sell guns to black people (jungle bunnies), he only sells to white people that he thinks he can trust. That 38, that’s a fine gun. A good adjective meaning good or excellent. That 38, you go hammer with it all day, you come back, and it will cut dead center on target every time. A slangy way of saying that the gun will fire exactly where you aim it (A target is the precise thing at which a person fires a gun). It’s got a really nice action to it and a heck of a wallop. A "heck of a wallop" is a slang
