The race has really tightened up in the last few  days  as  votes
trickle  in.   Stone   and Edwards  are tied for second, ONE VOTE
behind Day.

    Voting will end on July 18th, or One week after the  next  to
last vote arrives, whichever comes last.

    To recap, I'm letting the net decide who wins  the  1982  New
York Governor's race in my Champions campaign.  Your Choices are:

"A New Day for New York"        Linda Day, Democrat
"Democracy. One Man. One Vote." Robert "Bobby" Stone, Republican
"Vote for the Lone Wolf."       Adam Edwards, Independent

Information on their positions on issues was posted June 16.

To answer some other questions:


        THE WOLF

    A number of people have voted  for  Edwards  because  of  his
wolf.  For those who were interested, Vulcan is a full-grown (110
pounds) male,  silvery-gray,  timber  wolf.   Edwards  found  the
orphaned  pup  in  Alaska  in 1975.  His parents and siblings had
been killed in a helicopter & assault rifle style wolf hunt.

        LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS

    Considering the number of supervillians with heated  opinions
on  the  race,  it was suggested I should list LGs as well.  Then
again, who ever pays attention to the LG?

        RUNOFFS

    This is going to be a very close race; the vote is  currently
split  35%  to  32%  to  32%,  so it's unlikely anyone will get a
majority.  I hate to ask everyone to vote again in a runoff,  and
I did say whoever won this race would become Governor.  Flames on
this topic cheerfully accepted.  Maybe I should combine a run-off
with a vote on whether to have a run-off. :-)
