Have You Voted?

December 04, 2009 3:30 pm ET by Karl Frisch

I'm humbled to have been nominated in the Air America Cruise Contest – even more so to learn today that thanks to the support of Air America readers and others I've made the Top 5 (along with Digby, Joe Jervis, Mike Lux, and Pam Spaulding) and moved on to the second and final round of voting. David Brock, the founder & CEO of Media Matters, sent around the below email today encouraging County Fair readers to take 30 seconds and cast a vote in my favor before the second round of voting ends on December 17.

Needless to say, your vote today would be greatly appreciated – it really only does take 30 seconds. Don't forget to tell your friends and spread the word on Twitter and Facebook:

      I'll consider this, Karl.

      I have to say that Digby is one of my favorite bloggers.

      You're in good company.

      Heck no, I won't vote for him. It is bad enough that you guys always take weekends off around here, but you expect to take a whole week off?

      No, no, no.

      ;)
