My wife wants to vote for Bill the Cat, but will not unless she can be assured that such votes are counted and listed along with the other minor candidates. This brings to mind a gripe I had regarding this area. Some years ago, I tried to find out how many people had voted for "Pat Paulsen" and for the other such "irregular" write-in humorous or bizarre candidates. I could not. Digging through the reference material in the main St. Louis public library would disclose no more detail than an "other" category. Does anyone out there know where the real and detailed vote counts for national elections can be found? I want something that breaks it down to listing ALL the minor party candidates, and any write-ins who get at least 10 votes or so. (I suppose there are a bunch of people who write in their own name; that's who should be listed as "other"!) I would think that there would be many political scientists or sociologists who could use such data for research or theses; it must be available SOMEWHERE! But where?

Foo! If you do that, they'll just claim you gave them a mandate.

Too many nitwits like Reagan get elected because people want to vote for the Winner, not caring who the winner is or what (s)he stands for. Let's all leave our egos at home this November, taking only our collective conscience to the polls.

Maybe you should consider that others consider Walley and the Beaver to be a matched set of tax and spend liberal nitwits.

To those of you who flamed me for my comments in the first RE:RE: - I let my keyboard go before engaging in rational thought. I would like to appologize for the sexist slur in the article. I agree that it does not belong on the net, and I will refrain from putting anything like that on the net in the future. Again, my appologies.

<Hi,bug> Instead of all this talk of tax increases, how about an across the board 10% spending cut, exempting possibly only those below the poverty level. Its interesting how the politico's seem to feel its easier to anger ALL the taxpayers than anger a few special interest groups.
