Hmm, I'm confused and need to see an actual profile I think. Sounds something like: 40 A 30 B 30 C>B I think each candidate should run with a clone. At least, the one expected to be in the lead, always should. When that's expected, the C voters have to approve B no matter what. Unless there's some chance C could get more approval than A, in which case C should also have a clone. Kevin Venzke __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
