I am sorry I didn't mention that he is a Republican pollster. He scripts them. They are saying the Republican majority has put this economy on the road to recovery even though not a single one of them had the nerve to vote with the Democrats to get the economy on the right track. I appreciate very much the Senator from California. I have so much admiration for the Senator from California because she represents a country, as far as most of the Senators are concerned. She represents 35 million people. I think what you say we should listen to because you have seen the economy in California reverse itself.
