Nice picture on the front page of the candidate looking out toward the golden dome of the capital in Denver. And under it, an interesting piece on workers and race in the upper Ohio Valley. Things seem like they're solidifying back here, but a historian will presume little or nothing.

Maybe now that they feel Colorado is in the bag, they'll start showing you folk in Pennsylvania some love I'm with Notorious. I think this thing might just happen. All I have to say is that if it does, I want photos of Rose eating her 10 gallon hat! Thanks Indyanna.

[Excepting New Jersey, of course, in the 1790s and early 1800s]. This was a good report, ej; would like to have been there.
