Geraghty’s in no-waysville. He forgets the man ran the Olympics–that may not have required a national election, but it comes with 77 allies. How’s that for a selling point?

Seriously though, Jim makes a point. (And, despite keeping my eye on this one in particular, I don’t have a guy for ‘08 yet.) But then we get back to the same game of So Who?
