Dear Sara, This is sad but very true. Analysts say our economy is turning around, but it's a long, slow road. Congratulations on a great win! Love, Carolyn

I always thought that promises were the basis of politics! Pity promises are often made to be broken! Congrats on your fine win, Sara! // paul
