Julia and Mason got the most votes. They had more than double the amount
of the votes that Gina got who was in third place. Everyone who voted gave
at least one vote to Julia. One person gave Frank a big +10 votes placing
him high on the poll. I thought BJ and Jodie were interesting. They both
got a significant amount of positive and negative votes.

The following ended up with negative total votes:

18          Raphael                             1 (1)              -1 
19          Rich                                4 (3)              -4
20          Lilly            8 (6)             13 (4)              -5
20          Ted              2 (2)              7 (3)              -5
21          Aurora                             13 (7)              -13
22          Sophia                             17 (8)              -17
23          Rafe             3 (3)             21 (13)             -18
24          Katrina                            20 (11)             -20
25          Kelly            4 (3)             26 (9)              -22
26          Ken                                31 (14)             -31

LAST and certainly least by our standards is;



LISA

27          Lisa                               40 (12)             -40

Lisa got both high negative votes and a lot of negative votes. Everyone
dealing with the Lilly/Rafe/Lisa story got low scores (I wonder why? - NOT).
We also don't think much about Ken and  Sophia, but Andie made it to the
+ section. Like Jodie and BJ, Lilly is interesting with her negative and
positive votes.

Well, their it is folks. You may do all the analyzing your heart desires.
The following are recommendations for future polls - if Santa Barbara
is still on (PHOOEY - UGH).

1. More negative votes.
2. Have a poll with characters not presently on the show or actors that
   had the character role at a previous time.
3. Display votes on the net - would generate additional discussion and bring
   out lurkers.
4. Do one poll for characters and a different poll for actors.
5. Rate characters differently. As an example, rate them on a scale from 1 to
   5.

It was lots of fun,
John
