That 1/4 is a lot bigger than "us," however you want to count "us." You probably wouldn't count me among your us, so your census would be really small. But what about the half that doesn't vote? What do you think they know and believe? Or does that not matter?

You always complain about the "sports page" thing, but what are your politics about? They also serve who only stand and wait?
