I don't know how we judge right and wrong, whether I am right or wrong after an eloquent speech, as my friend called it. But, look, this afternoon we are going to vote and sometimes in America, democracy says the one that gets the most votes wins. I don't know if that means you are right, but I can tell you we are going to win and they are going to lose. I don't know what that means, but I think that is pretty good. In addition, let me suggest, I, too, am worried about what is happening to our young children who smoke. It is wonderful for me to be able to say that I smoked heavily until 8 years ago. I have eight children and not a single one smokes. So I am very pleased about that. I don't know what that means either, except it is just a statement of fact.
