CLARKIES, remember???

...they fell below the threshold to have their own polling site. The only one left is Hart's Location.

And given all the complaints about media obsession with the "horse race" I don't understand why anyone here would care.

and were extremely pleased he won Dixville Notch.

LAWRENCE noted the name change to Hart's Location, and changed it to Hart's Landing in The West Wing.

"Relatable" is the word I'd use, his amazing history and accomplishments notwithstanding.
