...free dinner, on the other hand, is a different story.
During the 2003 campaign, Sam Katz spent about $11 million to capture 41.3% of the vote. Essentially, he ended up spending about $58 per vote. Prior to the election, I did some math myself and figured that, with the amount that Katz would end up spending and the number of votes he'd need to win, if he just went out and gave that many people about $50 or, alternatively, took everyone out to dinner, he'd win.
Knox on the other hand, needs only about 100,000 voters, at $50 a pop -- we're talking $5 million. He and his free dinners may well be on his way to doing that. Judging from the latest poll, by the very serious-sounding "Pennsylvanians for Effective Government," or PEG, Knox has 22% compared to the runner-up, Chaka Fattah, at 17%. Brady, Nutter and Evans are all essentially tied for third, within the margin of error of each other, at 13%, 12% and 10%, respectively.
Perhaps most encouraging is that 22%, the same number that Knox got, are still undecided and that two-thirds of them aren't even leaning towards a candidate. That leaves a LOT of room to move. PEG Prez. David W. Patti says it best:
“Two-thirds of the ‘undecideds’ said they aren’t even leaning toward a candidate and those who are appear to be fairly evenly distributed across the five candidates,” reported Patti. “No one is statistically out of this race.”
So don't worry, folks, your vote still counts and there's still a lot of campaigning left. In fact, we now have a countdown clock on the main page to help you keep track of the important dates coming up: 31 days left to register (deadline April 16th), 60 days until the Primary and 235 days until the Coronation General Election.

Why isn't anyone talking about Brady's poor numbers after he has been on TV for three weeks now?

Well, he has moved up in the polls.

Check this out - Knox can't win. He can spend, but he can't win! The "numbers" mean nothing, save the endless discussions... Watch the votes that are garnered for Brady---you all just really have no idea! None whatsoever!

Sorry for the huge review, but I'm really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it's the right choice for you.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Article submission is an extremely powerful process and too be honest I am not sure wether i agree with doing it automatically. My current SEO stratergys for article marketing are fairly simple. I outsouce an article to be written by a professional english writer, the article must contain at least 1,200 words and be of extremely high quality. Next i will submit it to the top 20 article websites based on Page Rank and traffic. After submitting the articles i will then do some basic backlinking and bookmarking to make sure they get indexed by the search engine spiders. I find that doing article marketing this way works extremely effective however i suppose that having the software submit less quality articles to the less dominant websites and then submit to the ones manually that you can't use a tool for with your quality article because at the end of the day quality backlinks never hurt anyone.

I am always sating hotels and the difference in quality and customer service still amazes me. I have done a lot of travelling through business and pleasure and the difference to me between a nice stay and a great stay is welcoming staff. There is nothing worse than checking into a hotel to find that the staff can't even really be bothered to servce you and show you too your room. I have also stayed at hotels where items of my personal belongings have gone missing after the maids have gone through the place.

I believe what you said made a lot of sense. But, what about this? suppose you were to write a killer headline? I am not saying your information is not solid, but suppose you added a headline to possibly grab people's attention? I mean There's no such thing as a free lunch... (The Next Mayor) is kinda boring. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they write article headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a picture or two to get readers excited about what you've got to say. In my opinion, it might make your website a little livelier.
