With Gustafsson's triumph, the team finally had an individual title for the season. From the intensity of the team lining the pool's edge, it looked as if it exerted almost as much energy to give Gustafsson the support necessary to bring her the victory...

That isn't to say I didn't find any strong support. In Columbia, loan officer George Tisdale, 57, liked Bush's samurai tax cut and education policy. In Beaufort, retiree Lula ("Lou") Price, 74, agonized over her choice and even subjected herself to regular viewing of C-SPAN for enlightenment. She started Bush, tilted McCain and ended up sold on Bush as the man best suited to erase all memory of President Clinton...
