Yeah, is it too late to put a time limit on the poll? I forgot to do it.

Well, it is certainly true that I have an adverse effect on the hard left who somehow think that everyone agrees with their pink colored view of the world history.

Ha Ha! Fez is winning. You should have voted for me. I could have stopped Fez, but now 'Poly is going to turn into a Franco- ista dictatorship. It serves you all right.

Just because Fez is a Nazi doesn't mean he likes Franco.

Maybe a little effort from those who have not voted yet would spare us the shame of handing the award to Fez?

Hitler is much better looking, I agree.
But remember: Stalin is even better looking than Hitler!

I hate Hitler, you illogical person. 
It looks like I win by a landslide. 
If you don't vote for me, I will deal with you in due course. That is totally democratic. You vote for me, cool.. if you don't, you taste some salt water.

More interesting than than Zylka's banana good showing or Fez's domination, is the tie between Spiffor and MtG. Let's wait another day to see who can put 'best debater' in his sig.

Wow, I can't believe I was nominated! I voted for Spiffor, mainly because he is the most likely person among the nominees to make me change my mind. He does this by seeming to be open to most points of view, which gives me confidence that he hasn't simply arrived at his position due to his doctrine.
I agree with MtG too much to properly evaluate his style, and when I disagree with him I normally don't care all that much about the issue anyway. But he is a powerful arguer.
Boris is second most likely to get me to change my mind, and like Spiffor mostly because he manages to be reasonable most of the time so I tend to take him seriously when he's being serious.
GePap is usually serious and he makes serious arguments based on data most of the time. But like me he tends to argue from form rather than conviction at times, and that reduces his score a little.
Imran relies too much on the disingenuous argument and on wearing his opponents down for my taste, though I like him most of the time and do think he deserves his spot in the limelight. Unlike...
Fez. What more is there to say?

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Except for the part that he desserves his spot.
funny thing, so far he got less votes in the poll than he got nominations.

He got three nominations too many, I wouldn't call that underestimating him.

I see what you mean by underestimating Agathon, Oncle Boris.
Where would we be without his astute observations?
