I'd have to go with that.<br /><br />(As to whether the dollar backing will make Essel a winner- I don't know. That will depend on how many of the factions brings out the most to the polls, and many just rely on the glossy brochures, i.e., "what a nice picture and look how good a job they say here that s/he does.... I guess I will vote for this one." <br /><br /><br />And then you have the insiders and activists who just about can recite either side's bio, but those aren't ever the majority. <br /><br />Good luck, CD-2.

I'm not drinking that kool Aide either! <br /><br />In fact, what specifically is Essel's claim to fame? My inquiring mind wants to know.
