I do like your anti counterfeiting theory better than my "they are watching" theory , but I'll bet the temptation of looking into the computer to see who voted for who must be huge !

And to answer Porcia's bet request , If I had to bet it is my belief that Rich Hanson will be elected . If you noticed my picture in post #1 I still hadn't voted yet , my two choices in the split decision being either Rich or a write in vote for Frank . And of course that's not a knock at the other two gents either , I really DO feel that any one of the four would make a fine AMA president and I really do wish we had such great candidates running for the US presidency . At times , the "take the bull by the horns" impression I get of Frank makes me want to vote for him . And then at other times I think that the "been there , done that , got the T shirt" experience of Rich in his FAA dealings makes him the best fit . And I go back & fourth (depending on mood) and so the ballot waits .......
