We, the Council members, will submit our next nominations as the election is taking place, but you won’t read them until the results are more or less in. Knowing that, you should find these nominated

I’m now predicting the alternative election surprises we can expect on November 4: McCain will win, and it will be another “Dewey beats Truman” moment. In the privacy of the voting booth, away from the
