[GNC] After November? What's wrong with now?

Thank you, David. You whole message was well put. My contacts with David Cobb 
show him to be a thinking and thoughtful individual, and while I don't always 
agree with everything he says, I agree with most of it. What's more, he 
listens respectfully to differing viewpoints, which is more than we are getting 
these days from Nader/Camejo. And, yes, he is very Texan, which is a different 
culture from being a Yankee.

Pat LaMarche stayed with me while she was in Boston. She is no airhead. I 
don't know much about her media skills. Maybe someone should get a tape of her 
interviews to help coach her if that is a need. My impression is that she would 
be a quick study. I, too, didn't hear the NPR interview. I did hear how she 
answered some reporters' questions while she was in Boston and thought her 
answers were good.
