I'm a bit worried about my friend Gandalf; he's lost his favorite recruit. I thought it'd be nice if we all help him pick an new favorite. And therefore I started a poll (on the left below the other poll) where you all can vote. For further persuasiveness, you can give your reasons in the comments section here if you'd like. (I hope I didn't miss any recruits in my list -- please let me know if I did!)
EDIT: My apologies to the person who voted earlier -- I had to redo the poll, as Gandalf informed me he wouldn't consider the 7 kids coming in this Fall. So, sorry, and please re-vote!
