I agree with the first part of this. But not the second. I think many people knew who Powell was from the first Gulf War. More than half, I don't know but my gut says probably. There was a ton of debate over whether or not he was going to run for president and if he did would he be a Republican or a Democrat. - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
