How so?
I thought it looked like a response to something in a different thread.
The "Purple America" thread seemed to be about county-by-county results of
the presidential election, and you seemed to be talking about what was
going on in Iraq. I'm not quite sure what one has *directly* to do with
the other.
Your response looked to me like something that would fit a little better in the "Draft" thread, actually.
D'oh! How the hell did I do that?? And I still didn't see it when John replied. Sorry, I meant to respond to Gautam's post in the draft thread that included the Washington Post url. This one:
Thanks, Doug. Just a note - the Washington Post ran an article on the possibility just before the election. Quite a few Republicans (myself included, actually) thought it was a clear attempt to help the Kerry campaign (and thus somewhat out of character for the usually excellent Post, and particularly so for Tom Ricks, the best defense reporter in the business now that Rick Atkinson is writing books instead of reporting) by stirring up draft rumors before the election. Nonetheless, the article was overwhelming that the chance for a draft was very low to nonexistent. The URL is: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A440-2004Oct26.html -- Doug _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
