*Shocking* Results of A Straw Poll of the Profs. in my Dept.

I asked every single full-time faculty member of my department who they voted for. Here are the shocking results.

Kerry=9

Bush=2

No vote or declined to state=2

Among the nine Kerry voters, seven say they would have preferred to vote for Ralph Nader. Of the two Bush supporters, one is an untenured political-scientist (wink-wink) and the other is a Full Professor of History with a specialty in military history. One Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice did not vote on prinicple, he is a Libertarian--although I openly speculated to him that he was a convicted felon. One Full Professor of History declined the invitation to state who he had voted for.
