This issue presents the election by the number. Share it with your annoying, Limbaugh-listening, right-wing-loving brother- in-law. Pass it around your monthly church potluck. Copy a page or two and post it at your favorite local coffee shop. You can talk till you're blue in the face, but, most of the time, people won't budge from their positionsno matter how misguided until they see hard proof. Well, here you go.
