I was amused by Steve Sumner's sentence: 

"Tons of enthusiastic Mark Stenglein supporters showed up on Saturday
May 5
in front of Sgt. Preston's in SE Minneapolis."

Measuring people by weight is a touchy point for us oldsters with
expanding waistlines, but I was curious about what "tons of supporters"
translates into, peoplewise, since the franchise is quantized, one per
person regardless of weight.  

So under various assumptions about number of tons represented and the
average weight of Mark's supporters, here is what his turnout was:

  Tons of      Average Stenglein    Number of 
  Supporters   Supporter (in lbs)   Supporters
  ----------   -----------------    ----------
    2               100               40
    2               150               26.7
    2               200               20
    3               100               60
    3               150               40
    3               200               30

So Steve, what is the average weight of a Stenglein supporter??

Don't ask me the difference between 
a long ton and a short ton!!
