Done. It's close with the RATS slightly ahead as a shot in the foot instead of my choice of a Bullseye.

The poll is bogus. There is no way that almost 100,000 people have heard of CNN.

Absolutely classic liberal deep thinking at it's finest!!
Ban the product and then expect the industry to spend money in your town. Got to love liberals. What other group will bring in 40,000 people? The convention center may book another event, but the hotels, restaurants and others will not fill the same way. Congrats Columbus, you are truly stupid.
