We hear that figures don't lie - but we all know (or should know) that liars figure. So be careful. In places like MN and IA it would seem that the so called "figuring" is really simply counting (or is it mis-counting??).

It's interesting. The Dems in the state legislature are rather vocal in telling us how little (as in not at all) they trust the Reps in the State Legislature. They took a vote in the middle of the night without forewarning the Dems and the Dems didn't like the result.

A lot of folks were really glad when we finally got the Iowa caucus behind us. How much more of the "If you don't come and shake my hand personally, I won't vote for you" can we stand.
