"Gallup Survey Gives Willkie Lead In Electoral Vote of the Nation – 7-9" Whew! Finally, after eight long years of FDR's insane economic policies, Americans are coming to their senses, and will elect a new, more conservative President to restore prosperity, and keep us out of foreign wars.
It is so good to know that Americans do, eventually, "get it" and reject unconstitutional socialistic and redistributionist policies -- once they are proved ineffective.
No doubt the lesson will have to be repeated again -- by, oh, say, 2010?
