My suggestion is that the parts makers take a share in local manufacturing plants, but that's another post.<br /><br />Edward: I forgot about the open seats. Anything could happen in Cuba at the moment and Crist would be a formidable candidate in Florida. Murkowski's chances have firmed in recent days, you betcha!Andrew Elderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705844456819481896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-27857990996131295412009-07-08T23:53:30.858+10:002009-07-08T23:53:30.858+10:00Great analysis but think you are wrong on car comp...Great analysis but think you are wrong on car components.Victor Pertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061841052256041904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-64855023731863559422009-07-08T23:52:06.897+10:002009-07-08T23:52:06.897+10:00Thanks for the analysis.Thanks for the analysis.Victor Pertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061841052256041904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-11442296972002734302009-07-05T01:08:06.077+10:002009-07-05T01:08:06.077+10:00Interesting post but a few of those Senators won&#...Interesting post but a few of those Senators won't be defeated, they're retiring leaving open seats - in the case of Gregg and Martinez you'd assume that leaves the Democrats well-poised to pick up open seats, which is an odd concept in a country where each state/party has at least 2 sitters at a time under most circumstances. Grassley is a prime example of how incumbency and being ensconced actually may mean more than ideology.Edward Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525106528624517072noreply@blogger.com
