Any early news on how Not Greg Clow is doing in the polls? I have been campaigning, albeit in a fairly half-assed manner. I feel that's how Not Greg Clow would want it.

Edit: Also if Not Greg Clow manages to win can you let me know in advance? I'll prepare some signs and chants etc. :)

Pretty sure I saw a tweet from Mr. Clow agreeing to change his name to Gren if the Not Greg Clow vote wins
