Murray, I think my wording was not correct. I do not believe his intention was to be destructive. I believe his leftward lurch was very deliberate and the destruction that followed a result not a desire. Whether he was naive or economically ignorant is simply different shading of the same message. As for the intellect of the voters - when half are on the dole - their intellect is to stick their handout and take the "free lunch". That is a huge obstacle to overcome for us. Winning the House is a lot easier than winning an election as we need to win 51% in districts while at the same time there are many districts with their hands out that will vote 80 - 20 for Obama. It takes a lot of 51 - 55% to beat a bunch of 70 - 80% districts. Bob
