Anthony,

I haven't heard any stats, but I'd bet that it won't be anywhere near 48% of

their support behind the new Barber/Corbett ticket!  ;-{)}

Kendall

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.

-George Bernard Shaw 1856-1950
