The results are as follows:
---------------------

THE WINNER..............THE TIN MAN
----------------------------------------------------

FIRST RUNNER UP

THE SCARECROW
----------------------------------------------------

SECOND RUNNER UP
(A TWO-WAY TIE)

DOROTHY and THE LION
----------------------------------------------------

THIRD RUNNER UP

THE WICKED WITCH
------------------------------------------------

I was surprised by the outcome of this voting campaign.
I wasn't certain who would win, but suspected it would be Dorothy.

Also, I find it very interesting that the Wizard received not one vote!
He is the very one to whom the movie gears for it's climax
- the one who holds the answers
to the problems of the four seekers!

Others receiving votes were:

The Munchkins
Toto
and
Glinda
*****************************************************

A few of the
REASONS
given for choosing a particular character were:
---------------------------------------

Lion
"He reminds me of a child and we all know how special children are!"

Tin Man
"He is kind and caring!"

Dorothy
"She is the real star of the movie."
-----------------

Most reasons came from the likeable personalities of the
various characters. However, some were for personal reasons.
For example, a man whose son played the Tin Man in a
high school rendition of
The Wizard of Oz
many years ago, voted for the Tin Man!
