Al, re: eh...let's hope for an end to this nightmare Hope is right... I've been reading and listening to the political operatives. This election is really unique, with the vast majority of likely voters having already made their decision, with a dead heat. They are saying the decision could be made by somewhere between 3% and 6% of the voters, who are still undecided and not leaning one way or the other. The other variables are the motivated political workers getting out the voters for their particular side on Nov. 2nd; which side does that better. And registering new voters, I know the Dems are winning that battle in Florida by about a 3 to 2 ratio. So, I think, the side that wins will be the side that works the hardest. (At least if we don't have some event or scandal that changes everything). It's a waste of time to try to change the mind of the ~95%. DR, Ten, Ted, you and I are not going to change our vote. The way to win is to get every one on your side to the polls on November 2. It's grass roots, shoes on the streets local politics, and it has nothing to do with ideology. You walk the streets, ring the doorbells, ask people who they are planning to vote for, then give them a piece of lit. If you know somebody is going to vote your way, you call them 5 times on election day to make sure they voted; if you have to you pick them up and drive them to the polling place. Whatever it takes, you get out your vote, while the other side tries to get out theirs. It's old fashioned Chicago politics. John
