Nothing like a little censureship to screw things up. Bill would make
a much better president than either Mondale or Reagan.
The cat's out of the bag! Bill LIVES! (Or at least his clone does) ;-)

Still assuming this poll applied to the U.S. presidential elections: Were votes from non - U.S. citizens discarded? If not, could we see a breakdown by citizenship? (I know this information wasn't requested in the poll, so I'll settle for country from which votes were posted). Leif Samuelsson UUCP: ..mcvax!enea!erix!leif LM ERICSSON Tel. Co.

I must say I'm very disappointed in my fellow non-americans for their lack of interest in the issue.
