Ron.These Are Some Of The Articles I Found, As Promised. Don't know if I can get the order right , but the gist of what I was trying to say regarding Mr. Bush being " toast ", should be self explanatory from these newspaper clippings. History repeating or psychology? I have no idea how your electorate will react , if at all, to this, but I think it had an influence in this particular case. I don't think people are that different , no matter where you go, and when they walk into the polling both and make that final mark on the ballot ,that's when the affect will be felt the most and the people will have spoken. As far as I'm concerned , you can poll and poll and poll till yer blue in the face, and people can say what they want to any poll, but when the time comes and we/they have to make the choice, that's when the rubber hits the road. That's when we really begin to think.Those last few moments before pressing ink to paper are worth a thousand conventions and a million balloons.Its when things like DUI's , Oval office peccadilloes , Inventions (exaggerated or otherwise ) and the like,are all thrown together with who is the best man for the job and who they/we " feel " they/we can trust and depend upon to represent our/their interests.If our/their interests control/sway the majority , then we/they win.Yes/No? – ggg --- Judgement Day…..if you will.. without Arnie. Anywhooo…take these for what they are , and FWIW ..I’ve enjoyed reading the discussions during this election.Can’t remember when there was so much open discussion and information available to make an informed evaluation.Viva la’ Internet. Good Night.

a true story paraphrased...Clinton was reviewing some military figures and he saw that there were 20,000 cattle guards in Colorado. As some of you might know, cattle guards are grates to keep cattle from wandering all over the place. So our commander in chief figures why do we have soldiers guarding cattle? He has a staff member get on the horn to Patricia Schroeder and she says that she doesn't know why the soldiers are guarding cattle, and he orders them removed. Of course, in reality "they" were never removed but what is sickening in the level of brainlessness in gov't.
