Actually, what bothers me about all this is that the nominations
that come out of the committee are largely irrelevant, given that it
is trivial to petition to be on the ballot (*5* signatures?!) and 
that in the past nominations from the committee and nominations
through petition haven't been distinguished on the ballot.
