jack? >> all right.ation room" it is never too soon to begin thinking about the next big election, so here goes. a new cnn/opinion research corporation poll taken before the vote on health care reform shows america split right down the middle on whether president obama should be re-elected in 2012. 47% of voters say they would vote for him, 47% say they would vote for an unnamed republican. it's worth pointing out that at the same point in bill clinton's first term, he was trailing that unnamed republican by 15 points, and yet he went on, of course, to win a second term two years later. the poll also shows a majority, 54%, believe that mr. obama will be a one-term president. what's interesting is a lot of the same gender and generation gaps that we saw in the polls in 2008 are still holding. president obama continues to enjoy a significant advantage among younger voters and women. he loses among men and older voters. and in what might be keeping the democrats up at night, independents, currently favor th

jack? [laughter] >> let me just revisit what was said earlier today about products that cover cost coverage. what contributes to fixed costs. so what -- first class mail covers when it comes to overhead. 71% of fixed costs. advertising mail covers 21% of fixed costs. when you look going forward, with the shrinkage of first class now, obviously there is going to be more money overhead. the effort to take the cost out so that we can maintain margins on advertising mail and our current products because you know, with revenue going down, the only way to keep margins up is to take costs out and that is an initial effort. so we want to keep pricing affordable. there will be a challenge to keep the current margins for any class of mail where they are today. unless we're able to take those costs out. so you know, the burden may have to shift in terms of coing that overhead cost going forward if it is in the system. you know, it is a very complex question but at the end of the day, you know, the key

jack?the question this hour is why do americans keep voting the same politicians into office if we disapprove of the job they're doing? and we do disapprove, according to all the polls. alex writes, when more people vote on "american idol" than in our elections, it's not the people keep voting the same congress in, it's that the people who want to vote them out simply don't bother to vote. terry in arizona, we've become a nation of kool-aid drinkers. members of congress have the same control over us voters as the reverend jim jones had the people in jonestown. and the idiot running against the incumbent idiot might be an even bigger idiot. i'm not going to mention any names, but here in arizona we have this scenario taking place now, and it's getting national attention. chris in pittsburgh writes, the issue's not the politician. it's the two-party system. we can keep re-electing new politicians, but if they're more loyal to the party than their constituents, the same results will happen aga
