Well, I appreciate the invitation. You know, today, as we speak, the people in Michigan are voting in a Presidential primary to help determine the Republican nominee. I just mentioned one of them.

The other major contender, the gentleman who is likely to even win the ballot in Michigan today, more Republican votes, has been quoted as saying one of his top targets, if he's elected President, would be to eliminate Amtrak.
