I just got called back by the Braun office by Kim, and she said that
"they're continuing to develop their relationship with Paul Tsongas
and would make a decision regarding LoL at a later time."  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.
