It's a significant statement. But don't expect China to respond.

I expect this to be a significant area of ballot initiative in 2006.

I think that's an accurate statement. Everyone grew together and I think with that they got to know each other not only as players but as people. The camaraderie as a teammate builds and then you become a strong unit.

I wouldn't expect that to happen.

It doesn't amount to very much. This is a small foothold and they would expect to be a significant player over time.

I also respond very strongly to characters I have not done before ... something I can really sink my teeth into, and what's scary, and what terrifies me, because that's where I need to go.
