Vote for David Cameron...again
Today is the last day to vote, and for some reason we're allowed to vote again:
http://www.collegescholarships.org/blog/2008/11/06/vote-for-the-winner-of-the-2008-blogging-scholarship/
Copying and pasting what slamcactus wrote earlier:
Many of the people on this site are familiar with David Cameron, one of the guys behind the USSMariner blog. During the 2007 season, Dave wrote an open letter to then-Mariners pitching coach Rafael Chaves about Felix Hernandez's ridiculously predictable pitch selection early in games. This led to a concerted effort by Chaves and Hernandez to mix pitches, and both men gave interviews to the local media saying that they realized that if an average fan who writes on the internet can figure out what Felix was about to throw, the hitter probably could, too. It was a pretty damn cool instance of a blogger actually effecting the way baseball was played.
This letter got Dave nominated for a $10,000 college blogging scholarship based on an internet vote.
If the powers that be at McCovey Chronicles don't want promotion-type fanposts on the site, I understand and will take it down. A few other SBNation sites have thrown their support behind Dave (and I've posted call to action fanposts elsewhere), and I thought some in the community might want to help out a damn good baseball blogger in need.
This FanPost is reader-generated, and it does not necessarily reflect the views of McCovey Chronicles. If the author uses filler to achieve the minimum word requirement, a moderator may edit the FanPost for his or her own amusement.

Thanks, I should have done that.

Anyone else think this was about a British MP?

It's really close..
So I’d vote no matter what even.
