In tonight's open thread Kos briefly mentions David Mauro at Burnt Orange Report, who is up for a $10,000 scolarship at CollegeScolarships.org. The scolarship is for college bloggers, and is decided by an online poll. There are 20 finalists in the running, but really this is a two-man race between two Davids, David Mauro and David Cameron. At the moment Mauro trails Cameron by only a few hundred votes.
This is ridiculous! Mauro is an insightful blogger at Burnt Orange Report who offers excellent commentary and analysis on politics and current events. He is currently trailing a guy who blogs about the Seattle Mariners. Really? Are you just going to let that happen?
Go ahead and compare the two blogs yourself. David Mauro vs. David Cameron. Really, there is no comparison. It's like comparing the World Poker Tour to my grandma's bridge club.
There is no way we can let this happen. It would be a crime against humanity for an excellent progressive blogger to lose to a guy who blogs about the damn Mariners. Geez, where is Keith Olbermann when you need him?
So, if you haven't voted for David (Mauro) yet, I suggest you get your butt over there and vote before it is too late. You can vote here. There is no excuse for you not to vote. It doesn't even require registration!
