Whitey narrowly misses Hall of Fame

I have been out for a couple of days, so I appologize if this is old news, but Whitey Herzog just missed being elected to the Hall of Fame via committee.  On a brighter note, Billy Southworth made it. Here is the link to the press release.  Complete results are as follows:

Managers/Umpires:
*Billy Southworth (81.3%)
*Dick Williams (81.3%)
Doug Harvey (68.8%)
Whitey Herzog (68.8%)
Danny Murtaugh (37.5%)
Hank O'Day (25%)
Davey Johnson, Billy Martin, Gene Mauch and Cy Rigler (<3 votes)

Executives/Pioneers:
*Barney Dreyfuss (83%)
*Bowie Kuhn (83%)
*Walter O'Malley (75%)
Ewing Kauffman (41.7%)
John Fetzer (33.3%)
Bob Howsam (25%)
Marvin Miller (25%)
Buzzie Bavasi, John McHale and Gabe Paul (<3 votes)

Just curious what everybody thinks of the White Rat.  Will he be elected?  Should he?
