USA TODAY: The website relies on politicians being willing to participate. Would you say more Democrats have been saying yes than Republicans so far?Oddly enough, out of the gate, we had a lot more Republicans. to be honest it's been kind of split down the middle.I'd love the man that was just speaking, giving the eulogy.
