Welcome to the three martini lunch.

0:06.4

Grab a stool next to Greg Corumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.

0:11.8

Three martini's coming up.

0:14.0

0:16.9

My name is Craig Collins.

0:18.3

I have weaseled my way onto a stool to hang out with you, Jim.

We should point out, this is going to end up before the Virginia Supreme Court. Nobody really knows what's going to happen there. The Virginia Supreme Court, like Gray and I said yesterday, he would make, it would have been preferable if this was unconstitutional, if they had said so before we went through the whole process of the referendum.
