I have to say I agree with Barry, i think that some are decided already and and will auto cast their votes based on loyalty to their friends (or against their enemies, LOL! I chuckled at that), I don't think anything will change their minds etc.. My hope is that the folks that want to hear the issues,consider the missions and make informed decisions and will wait to see the meet and greet or at least read some posts from the candidates in order to make an informed decision. i see no harm in getting the ballots out.

I don't think anyone considers this all a popularity contest as that's not healthy for the club.
