Thanks sock,... with luck we'll have more ballots this month than last, good to see you've got John L on your ballot. We need to get him in this month along with Dempsey and Johnson.

Hopefully all the buzz around John L getting in will help him out this month. I still doubt his chances though.

I'm extremely happy with the support that Panama Al Brown seems to be getting so far. I love how everyone has, overall, radically different lists though.

sockdolager · Post by **sockdolager** » 31 Jan 2006, 11:38

it is kind of fun rooting your "underdogs" along. I was happy to see Kid Chocolate get another mention. Was I happy or relieved that someone else mentioned him?

kidlefty · Post by **kidlefty** » 07 Feb 2006, 02:41

We've gone just about a week without a new ballot. C'mon people, let's get more than 20 voters this month!
