Thanks, Ei. I voted too. I was horrified at those five top candidates because I hadn't realized just how far so many people will go to deliberately destroy the environment. :snarl:

I had to go for the mountaintop-removal guy, since that impacts my home state, but having spent a week in February wolf-watching in Yellowstone, it was a hard choice.

Definitely a hard choice and I wish I'd been able to check all of them too! I went with the guy who wants to destroy condor habitat - there's been sooooo much hard work put in to bringing these birds back from extinction and, since I work at one of the places that is deeply involved in that project, I had to vote for him - the dirtbag... :nono:
