I know the other teams are SICK to death. I know I would be heartbroken to break a world record and come in 4th or 5th place.

DLS:

Your right. There are so many transplants down here. And we're all turning into Southerners. And I don't have a problem with it at all.

Can you imagine how the 4th and 5th place teams must feel? They beat the world record and still didn't even medal!

His campaign has made some remarkable errors recently (remarkable because of how error-free his campaign has been for the most part) and if he recovers, he should prevail over what is a weak and boring McCain. McCain may do better than many (including I) expect him to do, but he'll only get anti-Dem votes as the "default" candidate.<br><br>Good luck in Georgia. I was in Smyrna (NW Atlanta) for just over a year and used that time to explore the entire Southeastern USA and beyond. Have you noticed all the Northeastern and Midwestern transplants like yourself who are there? Just wait 10-20+ years for the Baby Boomer retiree and elder-caretaker stampede.
