Well, Jon Stewart had great graphics made for the Wyoming primary. So, in spite of the fact that Eliot Spitzer make his announcement the TDS is plowing ahead.
Eliot Spitzer. I don’t think that I care any more. I’m sorry. Somebody just fix this. Wrap it up for me.
Here’s the outstanding questions that I have -
