The preliminary round is over, loopy. I plan to have the second round ready on Saturday.

I'm just about ready to post the round two entries.

First, however, I'm a little embarrassed to admit I made a mistake. I allowed some titles in that were almost exact duplicates of previous entries. While most of the time they were different enough not to matter, in one case they are almost exactly the same. So, regretfully, I've had to disqualify the second entry. Because of this, the results from 1:16 will not be included in the second round. Again, I'm sorry for the mistake.

Bull Moose Party,

formally PROGRESSIVE PARTY, U.S. dissident political faction that nominated former president Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency in 1912; the formal name and general objectives of the party were revived 12 years later. Opposing the entrenched conservatism of the regular Republican Party, which was controlled by Pres. William Howard Taft, a National Republican Progressive League was organized in 1911 by Sen. Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin. The group became the Progressive Party the following year and ran Theodore Roosevelt for president; it called for revision of the political nominating machinery and an aggressive program of social legislation. The party's popular nickname of Bull Moose was derived from the characteristics of strength and vigour often used by Roosevelt to describe himself. The Bull Moose ticket polled some 25 percent of the popular vote. Thus split, the Republicans lost the election to the Democrats under Woodrow Wilson. The Bull Moose Party evaporated and the Republicans were reunited four years later.

In this case I would be playing the part of Roosevelt. I just had too many good titles

Just to clarify, this concept of democracy, and even buisness, is basically the premise for the disproof of the old addage, "The cream will always rise to the top." This is all in good fun, but I am more than a little let down

Whatever.

You flooded the whole thread with entries. To even the playing field, I had to conduct THREE polls entirely of your entries just to get it down to three that would be competing with the entries of all the other participants.

In the second round, NONE of your entries competed against each other. If they don't make it to the third round, it's not because of the bull-moose effect. It's because people liked other entries better.

You are taking this all wrong. I find this most humerous.
And that is what happened with that election, the Republicans flooded the ballot. I just had too many good candidates
