I hate to shatter your illusions, but two of the no votes were me and gladstone... :D
The third was mine. :D
BTW, it's Gladstone and I, not me and Gladstone.
I really don't care about that particular rule of grammar. :P
EDIT: I can't be bothered to actually look up the rules of grammar, but isn't "me and gladstone" correct there? It's "gladstone and I do whatever", but isn't "me and gladstone" correct for listing names?
In this situation, both are correct.
If you ever aren't sure, simply see how it looks without the other person in the sentence.
Example One: "I hate to shatter your illusions, but two of the "no" votes were me and Gladstone."
"I hate to shatter your illusions, but two of the "no" votes were me."*
Example Two: "I hate to shatter your illusions, but two of the "no" votes were Gladstone and I.
"I hate to shatter your illusion, but two of the "no" votes were I.
For it to be grammitically correct, he should have said "two of the "no" votes were
from Gladstone and I."
So, if he had put that "from" in, both "I", and "Me", work in this situation.
But it doesn't matter, we all know what he meant.
* Yes, I am well aware that you cannot vote more than once.
I am also well aware that I spend far too much time thinking about proper grammer.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.
