- I find it particularly sad that you people (no offense intended) think
- everyone was voting *against* one person in the pack. Could it be that people
- voted FOR candidates because they thought one was going to do the best job?
- No, no, no, couldn't be Doug, there ya go again, being so naive as to think
- people actually wanted a certain person to win, rather than a different person
- to lose....(of course, considering the outcome that may have more than a grain
- of truth to it.....)

- No one has a mandate. No one has an anti-mandate. The only thing that a
- non-majority victory means is that those elected better be willing to
- compromise with the rest of the turkeys, or their gooses are all cooked.
