You are right, "Same principle applies, though."

I was not trying to be condescending, you are always right on in your observations of the political landscape, and I always take heed of your views on the various races.

I was not trying to be condescending

Actually I was more than a little embarassed. I love history but have some blank spots. Every important person I assume in retrospect to have been a senator. Ten years from now I'll be swearing Dick Cheney was a senator . . .
