Thanks to "Melpomene" for breaking the ice and leaving a comment.

I thought my McCain post would draw the first comment today. Perhaps an unpleasant one..... Instead, I received a substantive comment on a non- tongue-in-cheek topic. Thanks "Melpomene". Also, I need to figure out how to add my e-mail to this blog so you can contact me, but if you have an idea for an opinion poll, just leave it in a comment and I will be happy to run it up the flag pole.
