I wrote and left voice mails for professor Ansolabehere and Daniel Carpenter(Freed Professor of Government )at Harvard University; department of government. If you are interested in their reply you can shoot me a note and I will forward it. If you give me anything less than the 10 points I will give you that much less of their reply. If neither of these people can help us I am not sure anyone in this country can. At very least they will point us to the next step.
