I agree - this is clearly a matter of choice rather than debate at this point. You like Prashant, then vote for him, you like the other guy, then vote for the other guy, or if you don't like either or don't care who wins, then don't vote. Also, I sense a racial/ethnic undertone to some of this - both from those supporting Prashant and those questioning that support. Not necessarily on this thread but in general. Maybe it's just my perception, but it seems if you look like Prashant, or wish you did, you might be more inclined to vote for him, and if you don't look like him or don't like the fact that a constable from the Calcutta police looks like you, you might just be inclined to lean the other way. Maybe I am wrong. It's just a thought. BTW, on another note, it's been a fiesty and fun day on Sajha - all because people spoke their minds and said exactly what they thought. Hope there will be many more of these to come Best wishes to all (including Prashant - hey, why not? )
