<p>I flew on the US Air leg from DC to Hartford sitting behind Congressman Olver from the 1<sup>st</sup> District.  If it was any barometer, the civilians and business folks on this flight were pumping his hand and thanking him for his work.</p>
<p>A nurse who was the sound engineer on the radio station, WUMA, in Amherst where I was talking about <em>Citizen Wealth</em> was rattling off which votes where with Olver and where others had fallen down.  People  were watching and it was on their minds.</p>
<p>James Carville wearing a tie and Puma sneaks crawled onto the plane in New Orleans at 6AM.  I saw him live on CNN as walked down the concourse in Hartford.</p>
<p>It may have been Indian summer this day in western Massachusetts, but change was in the air.</p>
