Sorry, Ms. H, but I have a hard-and-fast one-book-party-per-book rule, and I, as you may recall, was the first through the door of your party in Aspen. Plus, I saved myself the humiliation of finishing second (third?) to Maher and Franken. And yes, it's true that most politicians sound their best in their concession statements. I guess it means we should figure out a way to make them all lose.
