Unfortunately, two members of the TalkBoard from outside the U.S. can't relate to that separation of powers and it's everything i can do to use it as a positive example. May i call you as a character witness (as opposed to being a character....HA!) if the situation calls for it? And i know you meant to say "If it was good enough for the Founding Father (Randy), it's good enough for FlyerTalk, your honor!"

Don't forget to vote in the run-off, there's a 20,000-mile/point bonus being offered to one lucky member.

Mathematically, using some or just one of your allowable votes is the best way to ensure a candidate you really want will get in. Casting a single vote in a multi-candidate election is also known as "bullet voting."

Wouldn't you hate to have your fourth or "I don't care" fifth vote be the one that pushes out your favorite first choice? I didn't use all five of my votes, either.
If it was good enough for the Founding Fathers, it's good enough for FlyerTalk, your honor!
