I remembered that stastistic from one of my history classes, that the country was divided 1/3 in favor, 1/3 opposed, and 1/3 neutral. I guess the third group was content to stare at the flames in their fireplaces, which was probably every bit as entertaining as American Idol. (Don't tell my wife I said that, she's a big fan.) <;)
