2. While Ga probably will vote Bush

Bush beat Gore here by 300,000 votes. The more job loses, IMHO the less votes for Bush in 04.

3. My company has reduced ranks in Atlanta by over a thousand...

25,000+ world wide.

Moved 3000+ to India for clients.

Working on moving thousands more abroad for other clients.

Ten-thousand more years of purgatory for me.
