Well, yeah, to two or three decimal places, that is what I believe. I think it's all talk -- and pretty timid talk at that.

Nor me. Who will make the call is the umschlungen-millionen sitting on their hands, or voting for Mike Bloomberg, or Ross Perot, or Yosemite Sam, or some other apoplectic dwarf. I have no influence, personally, over the aforementioned millionen, but if I could push a button and get every potential Democratic voter to stay home on election Day, I'd push it in a heartbeat.
