Sam,
Just seems to me that it would have been better to solicit comments about
the election and have them directed to you rather than the LIST.
I'm not sure I agree that it has been a debacle. It seems to be mainly
coincidence and quite interesting! Bet it has made a lot of folks realize
that their vote DOES count!
It has certainly made both Gore and Bush realize how marginal their
endorsement is (at least I hope so).
