I made a 200 mile drive today and that gave me time to think about this some more - when I wasn't looking at the cows, horses, green grass, etc, as well as the highway. I decided it would be better to use the motion to reopen nominations since that might provoke more nominations to resolve the deadlock and at the same time allow for more debate. However, in my experience, I see little debate in regard to nominations. I see speeches by candidates and speeches, sometimes, by the members to make the nominations. And of course, I agree with Dan in Post #2 and in other posts, too, George.
