Attention competitive people - The Springfield Chapter has the lead in total
number of convention registrants. They are a humble group quietly marching
to Independence. The Capital Chapter and Cleveland Chapter are tied for
second. It's anybody's guess as to how things will pan out in November. 

What about the rest of you?

Fierce Competitor,
