Yep, it's tough. And for a reason, so that guys don't get tossed out for single issues.
But this (to me, at least) feels different. This is a single issue that is also a defining issue.
So it looks tough on the surface, but might be easier when the actual straws are collected. This issue has generated more energy and involvement than anything I've ever seen, and people don't tend to forget when their careers have been sold out.
