I know what you mean. I didn't figure anyone would actually do the Senate
thingy, I was just fooling around at work. :-)

I actually don't think that I refuted it...just provided some data. But I
agree that his 5:1 is likely too high. On the other hand, the idea he was
expressing may be correct. I think a Republican is more likely to jump right
into serious politics through the use of significant money rather than basing
it on a career of service. That alone tips it in the direction, if not to the
extent that John suggested.
