    I have it on good authority that "Don", who posted here on March 29, loves the cock. So much so that all the thrusts to his head have turned what little brain he once had to mush, hence his worthless opinion. Crystal will win, deservedly so, and it will be because the majority of people who appreciate talent will vote for her, much to the chagrin of jerks like Don-boy.
