87 00:05:10.020 --> 00:05:15.100 Well, I'll tell you, by going around in the neighborhood here, talking to the people, 88 00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:18.000 almost everybody that I go to thinks he's doing a good job. 89 00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:19.780 Sure he is. 90 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:20.180 Okay. 91 00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:21.040 Sure he is. 92 00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:24.200 Or, like I said, it's nonpartisan. 93 00:05:24.460 --> 00:05:28.900 If you're Democrat, you're going to get the same constituent services as a Republican. 94 00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:32.940 Maybe even more because he'd like to change it. 95 00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:35.040 I'll give it a thought. 96 00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:35.980 Give him a vote. 97 00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:41.820 See, I can't put that down as a solid vote. 98 00:05:41.820 --> 00:05:42.500 That's zero. 99 00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:46.560 And let the phone bank or the mailing work on that one. 100 00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:54.500 And I also suspect that they might be, they might be dyed into little Democrats that won't vote for a Republican no matter what. 101 00:05:59.240 --> 00:05:59.740 So why do you think... 102 00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:08.620 In the Democratic politics of Chicago for years, there was a Clark name that was always, we had an attorney general named Clark, so these might be Democratic relatives of them. 103 00:06:08.620 --> 00:06:14.100 But now, maybe going back and talk to him again next Sunday, might be able to get that vote for sure. 104 00:06:14.200 --> 00:06:17.780 But right now, as of now, I'm going to put them down as a zero, which is an undecided. 105 00:06:45.700 --> 00:06:46.580 Hi, how are you?
