	According to CBS News, the man from Illinois is going to try
again; now we can listen to hundreds of reporters asking all over again:

	"But aren't you just being a spoiler and taking votes 
	from whomever the Democratic candidate is?"

One might as well ask the same question of a Republican candidate;
it has roughly the same meaning.

	I'm sure, though, the the American public, dim-witted as it is,
will once again ignore the intelligence of J.A. -- whether or not they
agree with his platform -- and label him a 3rd-runner long before 
November. 

	It's sort of like network television, you see; Democrats and 
Republicans are akin to NBC, CBS, and ABC, while J.A. belongs more in
the category of PBS...quiet, non-self-aggrandizing, and able to deal
with complex issues without resorting to simplistic thinking.
