I asked her two questions: when would Braun come to a decision (a: well ... after the elections, of course), and what did deciding on LoL have to do with Tsongas anyway (I don't even remember. Dave, does he have anything to do with it?). She gave no reasonable response to the latter question. So I chuckled heartily and told her I would tell all my friends (she almost certainly doesn't realize the power of Usenet!). Now, I am most certainly for Carol, but who's going to promise anything of this sort after they're elected? So call now! and ask for Kim, tell her you just heard from Ken about her disappointing decision, and ask her what Tsongas has to do with such a personal decision and commitment, and tell her that hearing the commitment would cement your decision, and not to hear it would reinforce all those nasty things in the press. You know, I usually don't get so wrapped up in being political, but this has such beautiful mind fuck potential, it just fills me with glee. Oh, by the way. I left a while ago. So long, and thanks for all the fish. Ken P.S. I'm cross-posting this to chi.general, just to fan the flames. Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
