Thread: E-mail "The Hotline" about Tancredo write-in votes

I now have no doubt that Cong. Tom Tancredo received several write-in votes at the Southern Republican Leadership Conference. Why were his write in votes not listed? Here is a link to a "Hotline" webpage listing the results: http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/. According to a member of the National Journal's staff, the write-in votes will be released later this week. Apparently, "The Hotline" is affiliated is a part of or affiliated with the National Journal. Please e-mail "The Hotline" and ask them why the Tancredo write-in votes were not announced with the votes for the other potential presidential candidates. Sen. Hagel only received three votes and his votes were announced. The e-mail address for "The Hotline" is hotmail@nationaljournal.com.

Here is copy of the results from a "Hotline" webpage:

Some notable info from the unofficial results:

Spoiled ballots 116 (8.1%)

Writing in Bush's name is preposterous.
Frist wouldn't make a good president. He has no backbone.
