That's 507 votes total.

Most of the voters on this are from an evangelical bible school or from this website, so take some of these with a grain of salt.

A couple surprises: Alton Brown seems to be much more known (and forreal) than most of these politicans.

Also, people seem to think Bobby Jindal is a LOT more for real than Sarah Palin. I have some concerns about that because people seem to be basing this on the abuse Sarah suffered from the drive by press. Bobby will not be immune to this. They could not care less that he is a Rhodes scholar.

BTW, as far as Bobby Jindal goes, he gave a great speech tonight. I liked his distinction between government-financed healthcare and government-run healthcare. The federal government is about to start deciding who lives and dies. Also his commentary on the success of Louisiana (as opposed to Illinois) against corruption and educational vouchers were great.

Poor Jonathan Edwards, he got beaten by Kanye West.

By the way I was going to attribute Sarah Palin's performance to the 1's that I gave her, but she was voted on a bit too many times for that to be the reason.

Hi Tim,

I was going to accuse you of affecting Sarah's numbers, but I didn't because of the reason you mentioned. So, basically, I think you're right. The Edwards/West thing is a hard one for me.
