CESCA'S TAKE -- Five random observations Mark Halperin will pass off as insightful and serious reporting between now and election day:
1. "It's the holiday season. Brrrr!"
2. "This inauguration isn't as historic as I thought it might be."
3. "Joe Biden is the vice president-elect, and you know what that means."
4. "When it comes to the Clintons, tensions will happen or maybe not."
5. "The economy. Watch for it."
