13. Should we therefore not have an election if there is "no doubt?"

It might be useful to look at crazy Greene herself and we might well also consider the effect of recent events.

I'm not saying it's probable, and I expect to be disappointed, but I'm not a fan of soothsaying, especially when my own soothsaying - of which my wife has been reminding me for more than 20 years - predicted a Kerry landslide in 2004.

General Harris is running, and no matter whether he is actually improbably elected he is doing so to make a point and of course I wish him well. If he comes close, that's a win.

These are horrible times, disastrous times, and while I appreciate your effort to rain on my parade to which you are definitely entitled, my reading of history is that improbable events can and do, if rarely, happen.

Thanks for your sober comments.
