Note that George Allen only got one vote. I wonder if his newly-discovered failure to disclose his compensation as a corporate director had anything to do with his loss?
Eh, probably not.
Anyway, the new poll is up, and will probably be that way until next Wednesday, since I'm heading out of town for a long weekend. Vote here.

Ugh, what's wrong with people? I'm guessing/hoping this wasn't a serious vote.
pI don't think so. It was a question of picking the least bad, and apparently, people think Kinky Friedman is the least bad. But I'm sure some of that has to do with the lack of publicity that he and his campaign flubs are getting -- at least here. I mean, in comparison, Mark Foley and George Allen are everywhere lately.
I'd have voted for Charles Barkley. Hell, I'd have voted for Gnarls Barkley, merely on the strength of Crazy.
Obviously some people aren't reading your blog enough. ;-)Maybe I'd rather go with the known evil than the unknown. Quite frankly, Arnold looks pretty innocent in this group, which I know is scary.
Well, there were only 6 votes total, not including mine, and I figure the 2 more for Kinky (tacky name) are these: Dara, I know you've lost faith in the Kinkster, but damn he wrote Asshole from El Paso. (no idea) and Kinky has to win because A. the name rocks, B. nobody knows anything bad (or good) about em (A. whatever and B. doesn't read your blog very often). And yes, I'm the only one working today, our computers are having problems, and I'm sleepy.
You didn't include the actual best new show of the season Ugly Betty, so I voted for The Nine. I have no clue were they are going with the story line, but the acting is great.
Debby: I'm not sure each of those really voted. I personally know of one person who voted for Kinky, while he was in my living room.
Inbal: I knew I forgot a show. I will add it, and lucky for you, you can vote twice.
I can't believe mine was the only vote for Charles Barkley.
For the record, while I too have revoked my endorsement of Kinky, I'd still rather have him as governor than Rick Perry. If Kinky did win, I don't think he'd mess things up as much, and at least he's promoting alternative energy sources and has Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan's support.
Dara: If it was a Republican, it doesn't count. If it was Ted, it doesn't count either. :-)
Was "Shark" in the list. No, I haven't seen it; I've just heard a lot about it.
Justin: I suppose Kinky works just fine as an alternate Republican. And it's Texas, so what can we expect?
Justin: Maybe I should start voting in my own polls.
Debby: The pro-Kinky voter was neither a Republican nor Ted, but he was, at one point, a Texas resident.
I have not seen Shark. I generally fail to recognize the entertainment value of law shows.
:-) I imagine you were like my Dad watching ER and critiquing everything before he learned to relax and realize that it was just entertainment. But you did include Justice so I thought I might as well mention it.
I expect Democrats in Texas are far and few between.
Debby: It's not really that I'm obsessive about the mistakes in the procedurals -- I'm not that anal about it.
To me, TV is all about escapism -- so why would I want to spend my TV time watching something that ultimately brings me back to my real life? It loses some of the cathartic effect that way.
I can think of a couple more shows that were missed, non really worth a mention as they suck (or so I assume). Also you completely ignored any 1/2 hour comedies, but again non of them are worth a mention.
Inbal, quit bitching. The poll software that I'm using has 10 slots, and 10 slots only. So I pick and choose. Maybe one day, I'll change the software, but for now, I like this one, since it gives me the results in a pretty colorful bar-graph format.
I purposefully stayed away for half hour shows. I suppose I could have been more specific and asked people to vote for their favorite new hour-long show of the 10 that I could fit, but that just seemed like a waste.
So, people can either deal with it, or not vote.
Dara, I think if the law shows were anything like the real thing, you might enjoy your job more.
