Brad,
I've decided that this election I'm going to vote for non of the above.  
Perhaps I'll put Snoopy down as a write in. My investments are primarily in  
Brazilian and Australian iron ore company's and the shipping company's that ship  
the ore to China and India. So far it's been a banner year while stocks in this 
 country aren't going anywhere.

Rummy,

Since the list is obviously working as designed regarding  sailing questions,
why not have some fun?  The joke IS funny but what  is not funny is the
disarray the Republican Party is currently in and the  problems they are
suffering from, not the least of which is their candidate  for POTUS could be
a switch-hitter.  As a fiscal conservative, I don't  have a dog in this race
after my donations to Fred Thompson bombed. My  sincere hope is that McCain
picks Lieberman as the VP and be done with his  "coming out of the closet".

Now here we are, five months away from  picking the next leader of the most
powerful country on the planet (not  counting energy liabilities) and we
don't know Jack Schitt about how the  virgin birth from Chicago has spent the
last twenty years or so.   Yeah, he and his wife and kids hung around with a
"Crazy Uncle", and yeah,  Bill Ayers is just a "guy that lives in my
neighborhood", and yeah,  Samantha Powers was just an adviser that I had to
fire because she said  something against Hillary (like her open disdain for
Israel got un-noticed)  and yada, yada, yada.

I don't worry about a lot of shit, including the  Republican Party.  If I
wanted to worry about political parties, I'd  worry about the Dems.  They've
picked a real "jewel" this time.   You've already stated that your portfolio
is invested overseas.  Mine  is by only a third but I'm looking at methods of
moving more to China if  the "Marxist by the Lake" O'bamboozles enough
people. Who knows?  He  may be the best tall lanky boy with big ears from
Illinois since  Lincoln.

I ain't bettin' on it!

Brad
