.....This is being written at 4:43 pm Central time, (5:43 Et, 2:43 Pacific Tim and 3:43 Mountain Time.......No I do not
know what time it is in Alaska & Hawaii. Where in Alaska? Isn't Hawaii a long distance away? Is that place a
state? ...sorry
....One idea more: I worked for McGovern in 1972. When the results came in, it was very sad. McGovern had the
correct stance on the Viet Nam War, and many other issues. He lost It was the greatest loss in American History.
We were downhearted, and we were very sad. We last every state but one.
...So, in the next Presidential Election in 1976, it was a different story. In 1976 we won. There will always be an
another election, as long as we have a democracy. We do the best we can on any given day, and that is enough.
