sounds good...except Stanford is really not that well liked by some of the conservatives here in SC...I think the only reason he was re-elected was that his democrat counter was even worse...
That would show them!! (actually isn't there always a few that show up like that at any conservative type conventions.)
While you probably won't catch me at a NeoCon love fest, unless you have some really great bear, I think it is great your are are actually getting out there and doing something. Looks like you have done a lot of work on this. Good luck!
