>>Yep, I agree. I guess you and I, and a handful of other cohorts on the UT are just so much smarter than the rest!<g> I agree with the thought that says, the closer we get to the election, the more attention people pay to the candidates. The Russians are acting up, and that is going to be in the back of a lot of voters, and if the Repubs don't use that, they are crazy. Who would you rather have in the Oval office, a black alfred e. newman, or an old war horse? I'm going with the old soldier over the clown, everytime!
