Shoukd be around that number of votes.  Next week is Santa Clara and Chicago state.  I wonder even if we win do we lose votes?  For sure rip takes a hit but will the number of votes?

It looks like we're not very good at this! Last week noone was optimistic enough. This week almost everyone was over-optimistic.
