    I can't listen at work, so if you're the only one here you'd better give a damn good running commentary!

    Well, you know... it's good to see the democrats narrowing the field. Less people, more time per. Each person can become more important. More highlighted.

    The republicans... it's a clusterfuck of stupid.
