George,

The basic question in this race is, "Who can win?" Other questions are irrelevant, because one can do little if not elected. I'm supporting Al Weed, because, regardless of Bern's other qualifications, Al has more name recognition and the experience of an earlier run against Virgil.

We should stick with Al until we defeat Virgil.
