11. One final observation or question
I saw James Carville on tv a couple of days ago talking about how he and a couple of other people offered to pay for the election in Florida, .. I am not sure if I heard it correctly.. but maybe someone can explain it to me on the side.. The idea of private individuals paying for an election process for the public just seems so undemocratic .. power in such few hands is quite frightening.. again I may have heard that wrong..
