They can hide but there's no place to run

We'll probably hear President Bush tell Senator Kerry "You can run but there's no place to hide" again tonight during the final debate.

I am honor-bound to give President Bush credit for my variant of this boast, but I think the President lost an opportunity to give Joe Louis credit for originating it.

Joe Louis, the "Brown Bomber", is still a hero in his hometown of Detroit and Michigan is a swing state.

"The Brown Bomber - The Man Behind the Fist"

Extract: Joe Louis' laconic style hid his wit. Before his 1946 rematch with Billy Conn, when reporters asked him how he would deal with that fighter's agility and quickness, Joe Louis coined his most famous remark: "He can run but he can't hide."
