Un-Scientific(Max how do you spell the theme from close encounters of third kind?)

[Gregory Geboski]

OK, before I sound off I need to know what people are talking about here. I 
just went to the site; there is something at the bottom of the page called 
"Virtual Voting Booth." Bush has over 50% here--but it's from a massive pool 
of 240 votes. Then, at the top right, there's something called "The 
Candidator," a frighteningly trivial "contest" between a cartoon Gush and a 
cartoon Bore. So where's the mock poll?
