Pssst, it's Zola (or rather Clemenceau, who titled the article).
I'm going to be gone all of next week. Can I have someone answer for me somehow?
Or maybe I could get online somewhere. How long will the poll stay up?
Several days, anyway, I'd hope. I can't see it being shorter than our voting period.
I agree.
