This year subscribers, to the Hospitality 1ST newsletter and Newsmaker Alert services, were given the opportunity to vote from Wednesday, October 27th � through midnight Sunday, October 31st. The results of 12,533 votes cast have been tabulated, with Senator Kerry leading 50.49% (6,328) to 49.42% (6,194) for President Bush (the �other� category has polled slightly lower than one-tenth of a percent).
