Me thinks that was a bit of creative sensationalism on AI's part!
All of us at work have been following this year and a bunch of our customers have too.
On the informal poll of "the shop, our customers, & my family", (about 25 people) all but 2 voted for Taylor.
The other 2 voted for Elliot.
D-man
I had taken a similiar poll with my students ... 77% of them voted for Taylor (hey, they have good teacher, what can I say? ), 10% voted for Chris, 9% voted for Ace and 4% for a mix of Elliott and Paris.
