It does seem remarkably subdued (at least the emanations and ripples I 
get down here on the equator). My suspicion ... faced with the choice of 
electing a woman, a black, or a Republican, most Democrats aren't sure 
what to do. Everyone wants to say that it doesn't matter, but electing 
the first person that isn't a white male will be a tough decision for 
people to make.
