Hello Tammy
Not writing on topic here. Just wanted to say that I am a liberal Democrat (very-libertarian leaning) and while I have to say that I disagree with you so much of what you write, I watched a 3 hour interview you did on CSPAN, and I have to say I found you to be warm, engaging, funny and fascinating. I might not be a convert, but I am certainly an admirer.
It should be mentioned that, in the “General Election” table, the first data column is an Obama-McCain matchup, and the second data column is a Clinton-McCain matchup.
