Am I correct that the results of the Electoral College votes won't be known until

early January?
Under normal circumstances there would be no guessing, and I don't honestly believe there will be action tomorrow sufficient to change the expected result.

Gingrich is a little long in the tooth.

Perhaps he really no longer wants that kind of structured position or role in government.
He's likely content to sound off at special events, or as a (paid) speaker/lecturer and author, making the round of talk shows, author tours, and punditry events.

I am reminded of the inexperienced, too young civilian staffers Bush & Co.

sent to Iran to administer that country when the US had "liberated" Iran.

How did that work for us?

Inasmuch as 30 people will be there, some will not be much interested in politics.

Make your way around the group.

When the subject gets testy, move on to someone who is not getting much attention, and find out what is going on in his/her life.
The day will go quickly, and before you know it, it will be time to go home.

Family is family; life is too short to let open divisions come between family members.

Have to keep self calm, as "things to be done" list looms large,

with not enough progress made and days flying by.
I've begun delegating certain tasks where possible, but still feel the need to oversee the situation.
