Re:

now that you had a day of peace

I am now in advocacy/fight mode, but trying to be rational about it.

good, i know you are now ninja breathing . . Im by your side for the entire trip.( if you want )

how much fun!!!

You better be.

1. issue , Erics timing was seen as a political move. 2. counter it by naming cole or other as acting? OR . 3, I saw olgetree saying it would be a woman, ( does janet qualify"). 4. I see the only real alternative is making the nomination now. unless it loses a swing seat. ? with the get it done as quick as possible position. ready to vote after nov. cannot delay ... pretty good arg to portray any rep demanded delay as political, not in the best interests. 5. caught the jew col. but available all day

even your anti-germ obsession couldn't beat that cold....sorry

The problem with trying to map out a strategy is that the folks inside don't have one, and I am in a position where I can't guide it.
