Harvey, I remember that you expressed an interest in that, but I don't think that I commited at any time to try to involve either of the candidates for president in an EV presentation. The reason for this is that, since we do not yet know who will win, I feel that we would do well to avoid seeming to take sides politically until we see who will be the new president. It makes sense to involve Gov. Crist as he *is* the governor of our state. The Electric Vehicle Initiative will be in Jan.& Feb. of 2009. We will try to set up a photo op with Gov. Crist to kick that off at its beginning. If others want to involve presidential candidates before that, they can do that, but our family is on a 7 week camping trip across the US starting this Monday. Happy EVTrails2EVeryone!
