Nice work, Mr. Wright.

Where is "9-11"? I know I drank to that at least ten times.

fascinating snapshot, and a great lateral way of thinking ... confusing for a Brit, who might intuitively associate the more conservative candidate with a blue colour.

Though I guess in reality, they're all shades of blue over the Pond.

Thanks for being so thought-provoking.
