Lynn, that's funny about PA.  Not five minutes ago Andrea Mitchell was on 
CNBC talking about how the gap was closing in PA, and that it was now a 3-4 
point race, within the margin of error.

  When I made my earlier comment about electors, I did not even consider 
third party candidates.  My vote wouldn't count anyway.  AZ does not count 
write-in candidates, unless they are an officially registered write-in 
candidate ......bobford
