I'd probably give you DeLay.

Gingrich, we'll have to agree to disagree. Baggage or not, I think he has more ideas that I agree with on how to fix the things that are wrong in America than any politician I can think of.

Dale a short whyle back you asked a question that I’ve been looking for and can’t find. I think it was a question about why the swing vote had (or had seemed to ?) become more critical over the years. I can’t remember exactly, it’s bugging me. I think that you offered two scenario’s, can’t remember what you said, iirc Lane3 responded that it could be a bunch of things. Can't remember the specifics. Do either of you know what question I’m talking about.

Anyhow, supposing that was the question, could it be because of how district lines have been redrawn over the years.

That’s about the sum total of my knowledge on the topic. It seems to me that grouping more like minded folks together or redistricting along partisan lines would sharpen the differences between groups. This would more clearly discern the "line" around the undecideds. If they are more identifiable, they mean more ? Not sure how this fits into the overall context of US Politics, past and present.

Speaking of De Lay’s dillying and dallying, what an incredible name that is.
