I have no problems with your list (except for B´esancenot, who 
supported Chirac in 2001)  But the crucial question is--do
you vote with Cato or with Curio on repealing the law permitting
Caesar to stand for consul in absentia?

P.S.  You were too young to remember, but (though I was too
young to vote, and it wasn't our district anyway) I supported
Marcantonio.
