The number of votes each got is not reliable information. The nature of comments I received on one candidate from the candidate who gamed it is, however, useful insight to me. It tells me what the gamer campaign thinks is the weakness of the criticized candidate. I see an attack meme shaping up. The nature of the caracaturing/mocking of that candidate in the comments was a surprise to me; it was not the direction that I thought would be the weakness of that candidate.
