I’ve got 430, do I hear 431?

I meant to select Angela. So, subtract one from Tony and add one to Angela.

Now I can see how all those old people in Florida voted for Pat Buchanan instead of Al Gore for president.

I don’t remember it ever actually being up for grabs. Tony always treated Angela like she was the boss. Tony was way to nice to be the type of housekeeper who takes over and always gets his way.

I’d always assumed the title was just a leftover of the original concept, like with _Family Matters_.

I accept this evidence. Could a mod please lock this topic as it’s clearly been answered definitively?

Bruce Springsteen was the only name in the poll I could actually identify.
