Well, treasure it while it lasts <g>  It is only once every blue moon that 
James and I agree <g>

Now, I think you are looking at part of this from the wrong end of the 
telescope, so to speak.  "This is going to give ordinary people 
extraordinary influence."  I would disagree.  This is one slick campaign and 
thus, it is all about smoke and mirrors.  This door to door business is by 
design and the design is to give the *illusion* that ordinary folks have 
some influence.  The extent of the influence is what is put into speeches.

The candidate of *supposed* change isn't about change or he wouldn't have 
hired all the old "Clinton Machine" people.

I wish everyone would take a real good look at what Alinksy is all about and 
how it works.  It is all about creating the *illusion* of the sheople making 
decisions, being in control and having influence.
