I see I still need to correct this perception.

My intent with that term was to indicate a risk. I don't believe that risk actually manifested although I concede it feels like it.

Again, in the heat of the original thread I spoke a little loosely and did clarify afterward. It's unfortunate that the initial misconstrued meaning gets the attention... it would be nice to see clarifications acknowledged and needless axle-wrapping avoided. Same for getting back on topic.

I voted, but for only one person. I won't tell who it was, but she knows who she is.

No need to correct here. I believe I understand what you meant (with clarifications). I'm talking currently, not 6 months ago. As you suggest, although you don't actually believe it manifested, it still feels like it. I'm merely suggesting that perhaps that feeling (or a similar "meh" type feeling), is partly why there is seemingly less interest in the election this time around compared the the previous election cycle. Nothing more nothing less.

Do you have one or more questions? You could still ask. I haven't voted yet, so you could influence my vote.

Wow, just want to say the list of candidates is very very strong this term. Choosing will be hard.

No. I contacted Dave yesterday, and he informed me I have insufficient karma to vote.

And then he sent me my token. He has a good sense of humor, that dneary.
