James, thanks very much for extending this good news to us.  I hope the other parties respond soon, for we need all of them to really discuss the up coming presidential elections.  Folks, this is what leadership is all about, knowing what needs to be done and stepping up to the plate to get the job done.  Keep up the good work.
