With over 1,000 votes in, the Trudeau\/Clark and Borden\/Pearson matchups are virtual dead heats while King, MacDonald, Laurier, Chretien, Mulroney, and Diefenbaker are poised to advance to the second round. Since I\u2019m only allowing one vote per computer, I decided to give everyone <u><strong>a chance to vote a second time<\/strong><\/u>. So the first poll has been locked (you can see the results <a href=\"http:\/\/multivote.sparklit.com\/poll.spark\/6834\">here<\/a>) and an identical poll will appear lower in this post. This <strong>Tuesday at noon MST<\/strong>, I\u2019ll close this poll and add the results of the two together. This pattern will continue in subsequent rounds.<\/p>\n<p>So if you\u2019ve had a change of heart and feel bad for Kim Campbell\u2019s 7%, this is your chance to change your vote. If you\u2019re determined to bounce Trudeau, or push him to the second round, this is your chance for that as well. And if you\u2019d like to read up a little more on some of the contestants, I\u2019ve put up <a href=\"http:\/\/calgarygrit.blogspot.com\/2005\/08\/profile-borden-vs-pearson.html\">a post on the Borden\/Pearson matchup here<\/a>.<br \/><!-- Begin Sparklit HTML Code --><\/p>\n<form NAME=Choices6910 ACTION=\"http:\/\/multivote.sparklit.com\/poll.spark?multiPollID=6910\"  METHOD=\"POST\"><input TYPE=hidden NAME=ID VALUE=\"6910\"> <\/p>\n<table ID=\"DisplayVote6910\" width=300 cellPadding=3 cellSpacing=0 bgcolor=\"#5588CC\" style=\"border: 2px solid #5588CC\"><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td><b><font size=\"-1\" color=\"#FFFFFF\" style=\"font-family: ARIAL,HELVETICA; font-weight: bold\">Greatest Prime Minister (Round 1&#8230;second chance)<\/font><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#DDEEFF\"><font size=\"-1\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-family: ARIAL,HELVETICA\"><br \/> <font size=\"-1\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-family: ARIAL,HELVETICA\"><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"-1\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-family: ARIAL,HELVETICA\"><\/p>\n<table border=0 style=\"margin-bottom: 15px\">\n<tr>\n<td width=35>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td valign=top><input TYPE=\"radio\" NAME=\"ballot[0]\" VALUE=\"0\"> <\/td>\n<td valign=top><font FACE=\"ARIAL,HELVETICA\" COLOR=\"#000000\" SIZE=\"-1\" >(1) Mackenzie King<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=35>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td valign=top><input TYPE=\"radio\" NAME=\"ballot[0]\" VALUE=\"1\"> <\/td>\n<td valign=top><font FACE=\"ARIAL,HELVETICA\" COLOR=\"#000000\" SIZE=\"-1\" >(16) John Turner<\/font><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/font><\/p>\n<p>  <font size=\"-1\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-family: ARIAL,HELVETICA\"><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"-1\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-family: ARIAL,HELVETICA\"><\/p>\n<table border=0 style=\"margin-bottom: 15px\">\n<tr>\n<td width=35>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td valign=top><input TYPE=\"radio\" NAME=\"ballot[1]\" VALUE=\"0\"> <\/td>\n<td valign=top><font FACE=\"ARIAL,HELVETICA\" COLOR=\"#000000\" SIZE=\"-1\" >(2) John A.
