>Did you guys notice in the speaches last night that how they all want to step away from the party lines and all that BS? My theory is, that in the next couple elections, we will have more and more voters vote third party just to aviod voting for Republicrats, and that the parties have to appeal to the voters by being as non-partyish as possible.

Speaking of that, what's your take on your Gov. Ventura? He seems to be a reasonable, plain-talking person whenever I see him on the telly (which he does alot of). Do people there still approve of him on the whole - I know that some quarters have tried to paint him as a bit of a clown for stooping to that refereeing gig, but I think it's a gas myself, fits right it with the populist bit as long as its not overdone. I take it you're not running for Gov. in 2004?
