Note: I did not take totals for Tag-Team votes because they are extremely messy, and
the votes for Straight Shooter and Cojones are fairly consistent: Alison, Cla68, and Thatcher
have greatly dominated the vote totals, far ahead of anyone else.

I think that this poll suffers from a serious problem. People naturally vote for people they had heard of and bother to do no research. There was a canvassing thread but it was cut short. I could have told you that Fae would win the Dick award before we started, with all the recent threads about him. I did indeed take the trouble to search through WR history. How much coverage has the third place candidate Sandstein had on WR? Very little. And Jmabel, third for straight shooter, has had even less. Have half a dozen threads about them next December and they might win the next awards!

Fae, as far as I know, was the only candidate to have been critiqued vigorously by the mainstream media. That had something to do with it, too.

I don't think you understood the irony there.
