I wonder about this voting stuff. I can't see this method really works very well.

Especially when they are down to two people. The phones will get basically the same workout for each contestant. It seems like it's just a matter of the capability of the phone lines more than anything.

Or, they let the phones go until they get the winner they want!!!

Not with three phone lines and 4 hours of calling. That's a huge number of ballots, so to speak, that can be used-- more than enough than will be used, IMO. As an aside, I voted for Carrie about 20-30 times after well more than twice as many tries (redial is awesome) and my wife wanted to hear Bo's message (she heard the one Carrie recorded). I called his number and got right in the first time. I just don't believe that Carrie has ever gotten fewer votes than Bo and I don't believe she did last night. IMO, Bo's supporter are just less likely to vote. This is a voting contest more than a talent contest.

Here's a picture I took with my camera of President Bush when he was speaking here Tuesday morning on Social Security reform. It's posted on a local website. Looking forward to the results show tonight. I may not tune in until later but I'll be here.
