33. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. i have no pick in this race if that is your insinuation.

I merely want the election to play out. Wasserman may be right, he might be wrong, but his adamant statement was issued hours ago BEFORE all these issues popped up which may well NOT be quick to be resolved, the state of Texas' Supreme Court's current and future rulings notwithstanding. At a minimum we won't know until tomorrow.

So, I am reminded of that famous (somewhat nonsensical) quote David Letterman made about making assumptions: "When you make assumptions you make an ass out of Uma Thurman" (UMA standing in for the more famous, You and ME).
