Sometimes I wonder if all this Wellinghoff stuff is smoke and mirrors. His term is up in 4 months and he probably won't vote on the Bradwood project anyway.

As it has been since "Day One", my bet would be on "Smoke and Mirrors".

I don't hink "Sometimes" come into play, it just "Is" and I think you really know that as I do.

How much impact you think this issue is going to have on 2008 elections?
