John Grisham

Hey there. In response to your inquiry about John Grisham running, here are a few links. But keep in mind, like Ben Affleck, it is still speculation at this point so there are no official announcements or anything like that yet. link 1, link 2, link 3, link 4. There are also several blogs talking about it, but I won't post those (besides the one).

Thank you for voting!

Hello there! I wanted to thank you for taking the time to vote on my arbitration commitee nomination.

Caffiene

Erowid is arguably the most notable drug info site on the web; it's the drug equivalent of imdb. I deleted the energyfiend.com link because that site has google syndication which is often an indicator that the anonymous contributor is trying to boost hits to that site via Wikipedia. I agree that the Thinkgeek t-shirt link should be deleted. I focus more on removing spam as it's added, so I didn't notice that. Also, please do not link edit summaries to my talk page (that link has been broken). The comment would've been more appropriate on the Caffiene talk page.

Split electoral vote history

In the article on Nebraska's 2nd congressional district, you identified the 1892 election as the last time a state split its electoral votes. According to Atlas of American History by Ferrell and Natkiel, West Virginia cast a split electoral vote in 1916. Checking with one of the federal sources cited by Wikipedia articles on U.S. elections, one of West Virginia's votes that year went to Wilson (D), while Hughes (R) got the other seven.

Upon closer examination of the Atlas of American History election maps, it appears there may have been split votes in Tennessee 1948, Mississippi 1956 and Alabama 1960, but I haven't verified those with any other source.
