Hello everybody,
I'm writing an extract from a dialog containing some expression which are not that clear to my.
The dialogue is between David Letterman and Hilary Clinton. They're talking about the Democratic South Carolina debate held on 01/21.
I do not intend to raise any political debate.
David Letterman: You looked great together. And I think I was looking at the Democratic ticket.
(David is referring to Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama standing together on the stage during the debate)
Hilary Clinton: I've been giving a lot of careful consideration to that. And..... it's really down to you and regis (or Regis? capital letter).
1) The expression Democratic ticket sounds pretty odd to me. Is it a sort of idiomatic or metaphoric expression?
2) I don't understand what it's really down to you and regis means. And I can't understand what regis itself means. Is it a name? Regis? and if so who are they talking about?
Hope you can help me
Thank you
