Results Are In For Our Second Mayoral Candidate Preference Poll

Once again we'll issue the disclaimer that this online political polling business is "all in fun." It WILL be fun however, won't it, comparing these data with tomorrow's "real life results"?

The results are in on this week's "Pre Primary Ogden Mayoral Candidate Preference Poll #2", which we've now shut down and removed from our WCF right sidebar.

Have at it O Gentle Ones...
