    "I doubt Kerry and his followers give a danm about the OSS/CLSS debate. They just went with the cheapest option." That's absolutely true. I think it's crazy to say that the candidates have chossen sides in the OSS "war" as some posts put it. The people that make OSS what it is are too diverse of a group for any candiate to court. They don't have the consolidated political views of say the SBC or the labor unions, for example.

    Hmm... Spam is high in carbs, isn't it?. Are you on the Atkins Diet by chance? But seriously, to what do you attribute the drop?
