I started a similar poll before,but time has changed things and I thought since USMS is going to have to do something definitive so they should have some input from the forumites

Disagree strongly with this statement. Delegates are not supposed to vote for themselves but for the interests of their home LMSC, including current and potential competitors. (Whether they do this is another matter.) Heck, I even voted against my personal preference in that particular case.
I agree that the voting needs to be in response to the overall interest of the majority, I just don't think we have a process of actually determining what that desire is so everybody's guessing. I believe if you throw out the non-competitors opinions though, we'd have a different result. At least that's my guess.
