This is classic! Ya gotta love Nevada:
| Quote: | Queen of clubs settles election tie
ELY, Nevada (AP) -- A county commission race in this gambling state was decided in true Nevada fashion -- by the luck of the draw.
After finishing Tuesday's election tied with 1,847 votes each, Robert Swetich and Raymond Urrizaga agreed to draw cards to resolve the deadlocked White Pine County commission race.
Urrizaga drew first, choosing a queen of clubs. His opponent pulled the seven of diamonds, then congratulated the winner.
Nevada law provides for drawing lots to break a tie, giving the candidates the option of tossing a coin, drawing straws or picking a card. |

I thought you liked Kerry? Now you want him dead?  Maybe you better stick to politics in the UK.  |

I'd be happy with both of them dead. Actually, can't we just place all politicians in a matrix style sleep, and have a council of geeks ruling instead? |
