I shook Shelly Moore's hand today

Here's a guide to the elections (including which ones are fakes), and here's the results.  So far real Dems are leading 2-0 with 4 yet to be projected.  Shelly Moore's numbers look rather worrying for the general.

And do you know the four nations of the United Kingdom?

I don't think you understood a word of my post. Probably a translation issue.

From the way I read it, you consider a nation and a country to be exactly the same.

As in, the word "country" can be used in that sense, much as the word "nation". Certainly a Castilian thinking "nation" for Catalunya is okay but "country" is not wouldn't happen without translation issues. Other way round makes more sense, actually, "country" being the older word that predates modern nationalism.

Hmm?  I've always learned "country" is one with actual borders, while "nation" can transcend country boundaries.

In a futile effort to make J.J. shut up...

Isn't the Cowles data point skewed, too, because of the incorrect tabulation of results?
