Real letters about real bloggers

Bob McRuer (whose paper at the Disability Studies conference, “Crip Eye for the Normate Guy,” was one of the highlights of the weekend) writes to say,

My own web surfing of late convinces me that Real Bloggers Do Electoral College Predictions.  I say Kerry holds the Gore states and picks up New Hampshire, Nevada, and Ohio.  My occasional flashes of panic/fear are most often occasioned by Wisconsin and Iowa.  And I’ll really go out on a limb and say Kerry picks up D.C., despite the 2 or 3 gay Republicans who after deep soul-searching and wallet-checking decide that they’re going to stand by their man, giving him two arms to cling to when nights are cold and lonely.

Even though he does things they don’t understand, yes, I know.

OK, then, I’ll get around to mapping out the Electoral College Map one of these days.  And I haven’t even finished picking out Kerry’s cabinet yet!  I have Lani Guinier for Attorney General and Brad DeLong at Treasury, Doug Henwood at Commerce and Al Gore at Interior.  But I just can’t decide on Agriculture-- and it’s a tossup between Jonathan Kozol and Henry Louis Gates at Education.  So much to do, so much to do.  Suggestions welcome!

UPDATE:  The first suggestion is to move Henwood over to the Office of Management and Budget.  Good one!  Keep ‘em coming. . . .
