Blogger Beauty Pageant

Apparently I am a semi-finalist in a contest I didn't know existed. Air America Media is running a promotion asking you to vote for your favorite progressive blogger. The winner gets a week-long cruise to the Mexican Riviera with Air America hosts, including our heroine, Rachel Maddow. I'm way down at #11 in the semi-finals voting, which ends tomorrow. But Pam Spaulding is tied for first place! Woohoo! Go Pam! A top five will be announced at the end of the week for a final round of voting. I think this is the voting link. Below are today's rankings. Asterisks indicate a tie.
