Dice is used for both the singular and the plural.”] and have all six numbers come up. Right now, Marty Golden and about half his people are for Dan Donovan and half are for Nicole Malliotakis. Just wait and see, if Joe Tirone hangs in there, Golden will come up with another "half" of his folks to support him.Galewyn Masseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09210379476512207622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3872239785607728837.post-33069306138038676142015-01-05T08:52:54.155-05:002015-01-05T08:52:54.155-05:00Wow Gale!!!
