Woo! I thought I’d lost it on #9 seeing the early results, but Michele Bachmann came through for me after all. ---

I’da been in the top ten easily, if I’d read number six correctly as Country rather than city. Nuts. ---

Does Pelosi getting voted off the island mean the SDMB no longer has a liberal bias? 😉 Actually, Republicans _en toto_ got more votes (25-19) if we don’t count Lieberman as a Democrat. ---

I’m pretty sure there were some tactical votes in there (at least one explicitly so). I was counting on the board’s liberal bias putting Bachmann over the top, but she isn’t as obvious a target for the left wing as Pelosi is for the right wing. ---

Thanks, Dolores! And congratulations, Tom! > [@Rebo](#): > > … this was a bitch to score! I can see that, what with the alternate wordings. Thanks for treating my “prosperity” as “economy” though it wasn’t enough to get me out of the bottom half. You treated “Bush 11” and “Bush 2” as the same person, which seems correct (“11” is, after all, “2” rendered in unary), but also plain “Bush” as the same as “Bush 2”. Does this mean Bush Sr. is now destined to fall into obscurity much as the Greek hero Peleus did, after his deeds were eclipsed by the great fame of his son, Achilles? ---
