For me I would take character over intellegence anyday. Besides he(Bush) is not dumb.

Gore and Lieberman

Some local/Florida votes:

Nelson  
Sullivan  
State Rapid Transit [that was a tuffy because I don’t particularly like the language of the initiative]  
And yes, I voted for the tree-hugger initiative!

Grampa’s been dead since '63, but who knows what he’s been up to **since** then. And neener, neener, neener, my two votes cancel out your two votes. And to one up you (let’s not examine that phrase too closely): Gore. Gore. GoreGoreGoreGoreGoreGore. So there.

That’s the motto of Gregg County, TX–“vote early, vote often” (big scandal about 20 years ago).

1 county in TX is currenly being investigated by the Rangers…because they had **more voters than the total population of the county**!

If you must have Gore or Bush, Gore.

Just an update. With 10% of the SDMB precinct in, we have

33 votes for Al Gore  
11 for George Bush  
3 for Ralph Nader  
3 for Harry Browne  
1 for Mike Bay  
1 for Iampuha’s Mom

Also, we have 1 vote for Ralph Nader by a 17 year old girl, 1 who will flip a coin, and a split ticket between Bruce Wayne or some other guy.

If the choice were ONLY between Gore and Bush (a HYPOTHETICAL situation for all you Democrats and Republicans who rail against Nader and other third party supporters by the way), the vote would be Gore 34, Bush 13, and 2 abstentions.

I could be off by 2-3 votes, and if someone voted twice, that’s counted in this sample.
