So far it’s a Jen slaughter. She looks quite distraught. ---

Not a single person voting for Jenn. Wow. ---

This is brutal. Gaaah. I feel uncomfortable _for_ her. Enough’s enough already! Why are they dragging out the inevitable? _Glances at clock_ Ahh, answered my own question. ---

Sooooooo, since Kelly’s CO was in the front row and now we’re talking to the Kelly Fan Club, did we know the winner ahead of time? ---

It’s a rout. Even her employer’s endorsement looks like a pity endorsement. ---

What kills me is how enthusiastic they all are about Kelly not just “well, he’s the better of the two” but “he’s the greatest thing since sliced bread.” I’m swinging to Jenn now just because it’s so lopsided. ---

“He’s proven himself in and out of the boardroom.” Does that sound dirty to anyone else? ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > WTF does a military background have to with anything? It shows an ability to follow orders and (in theory, at least) a measure of discipline. Yeah, there are some louts in the military, but they’re not likely to last very long. I’m not a big military fan, but even I can concede that a successful military career means something. ---
