[Magdalen] House vote.

[Charles Wohlers]

Oh my! And I could have met him recently when he was in town. A couple of 
good friends are big supporters of him. He's a member of the Progressive 
Party, which is to the left of the Democrats. Which puts him considerably to 
the left of our new governor, who's a moderate Republican.

Chad, I just learned this week that the son of a very good friend is your 
new Lt. Governor--David Zuckerman.
