i'm going to bet the bottle of lagavullan that max owes me (and mark jones owes him) that next election, if the repukes keep it up, then the dipocrats will look golden and the bizzo about a clean break will be meaningless. which is not to say that i think we should support the dipocrats. rather, i just think that if y'all think that USers are going to come running in the arms of the left or Nader or a leftish third party, yer all nuttier than a squirrel's nest.
my dad's a hustler -- so watch out!
