Results of AP Poll: Which new cardinal are you most excited about?
235 voters participated in this poll. Thanks to the many blogs who linked to it, especially Michael Paulson of the Boston Globe (even though his readership might have tipped the voting a bit...)However, in the end, Cardinal Zen of China received over 30% of the vote, edging slightly ahead of the American Cardinal O'Malley!
A reader from China sent in this comment: "Wow, it is a surprise that here voted cardinal Zen being elected as the most exciteing. I'm exciteing too.haha!"
(We're all praying for the Church in China and join you in your excitement about Cardinal Zen's election!)
Cardinal Dziwisz, former secretary to John Paul II, put in a strong showing for 3rd with about 15% of the vote.
The always stylish Cardinal Caffara came in 4th, with my guy, Cardinal Canizares of Spain taking 5th (oh well).
American-born Cardinal Levada of San Fransisco received only 4.3% of the vote, which was somewhat suprising for me.
Even Cardinal Dery of Ghana received a few votes!
An excellent reader poll in my opinion - look for the next one to go up in a couple days! Thanks to everyone who voted and promoted it throughout St. Blogs!
And as a quick post scriptum, it looks like Cardinal Zen is happy and excited about his victory:
