If these guys dont focus their momentum exclusively on a Grexit (the buzzword term now), then its just a waste of time. They'll just end up like some of the state legislatures over here: lots of posturing with weak delivery.The Just Gatekeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725052297330669528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-15218778892408360462015-01-26T09:33:47.682-05:002015-01-26T09:33:47.682-05:00Nor will they ever, Tom.

So what's the big deal if they bolt? Pundits are making this way more complicated than need be. Leaving the eurozone is their only viable choice.
