 Well, if the Kingfish does prevail, my friends living on this barrier island in Northern Florida, are suggesting, in jest I assume, that we blow up the bridge to the mainland and declare our independence.? I guess they are suggesting secession, although in jest.

Well, it seems that Virginia has the opportunity to be the king-maker next 
month, and the polls are leaning towards Obama. Far better to have an 
intelligent man with less experience, than a foolish old man with only a

say no more about the pending election, except that I am hoping for a 
grassroots win.?
