[micah]

I went with PJ even though he lost points for Obama... but I couldn't pass up Neil Armstrong, Galileo, Moses and Muhammad.

My other vote goes to Charlie.  Tesla, Bach and JFK were great picks -- but Charlie edged out JaWiB with Jesus, the first George-W-president, Einstein and Voltaire.

[ober]

Duw.... whatever and charlie.

HEY DOUCHEBAGS... DON'T LET PJ WIN THIS! 

[JaWiB]

JFK? I didn't draft any politicians :P

Sorry, gotta vote for PJ on this one.

[charlie]

Yeah... I too got confused on JFK but I'm sure he meant MLK.

And don't get too excited about PJ losing. If these scores hold then he loses the finals that means that I would have two wins just like him.

I think we have just the right age and generic favorites to do well in these things. I don't do it for the glory anyway.

[PJYelton]

HEY DOUCHEBAGS... DON'T LET PJ WIN THIS! 

Awww... come on, this is my one joy in life!

[kermi3]

Duw.... whatever and charlie.

HEY DOUCHEBAGS... DON'T LET PJ WIN THIS! 

that's the best arguements on why to vote a certain way yet. But for the first time in a while I'm beating PJ at something (see FF) and he has the better isand for me so...sry Charlie...
