Spence would have followed up with a Spencism - maybe something along the lines of:

While wearbars on rocks may on occasion smooth down to ice like qualities that on a rare chance might enhance your exposure to peril or injury, 4 out of 5 experts possibly agree that the rock will look better and that had McCain been elected President you would still likely fall.

One of the few vehicles you can do that quickly on these days. What did you find? Short in the harness? Any pics?
