If you're like me and live in a blue state, you aren't hoping your votes are ackonwledged, and certainly can't hope for command.
mostly, I hope for the occasional response to a post on an anon. forum. That, and I have the smallest burning hope that the Gilligan posts bring a smile to at least one face, somewhere.
