Thanks for everyone's participation.  I think this result demonstrates a
great deal of support for all the topics, and given the small
representative sample, I would think the actual vote results next week
could be quite different.  

I also think the results underscore the power of a strong second and/or
third place ballot vote.  Domestic terrorism only had 9 first place
votes, but came in second overall; Pat predicted this outcome, and he
was right.
