Threads like this are kinda bad idea I think
For one, it makes it obvious who is gonna vote for who.
And two... people are gonna see who is voting for who and think, 'Oh Mi Gawd, He/She didn't vote for me! I am so not Gonna vote for that PersonThey sux!!!!' and start going all emo in their LJ's.
Bad ideaIt's better when it's anonymous like when you nominate for people, because then there is far less bias when no one can see who is voting for who.
Making predictions kinda spoils it if ya ask mePeople are not gonna vote with clear heads. They are gonna let bias get in the way.
