yes, i am glad to see some movement: the vote is in the spotlight box on the front page and the sidebar everywhere else. I also sent an email to every Blogcritics member. The fact that we have moved up only marginally after all of that leaves me with a very thin sense of hope. If 15K unique daily readers voted each day between now and the 12th we would overwhelm the voting, but that doesn't seem to be a priority. I am not sure what our (members and readers) reluctance to be mobilized actually means, but I will choose to see it as a commentary on this particular process because otherwise I might get pissed and that would be pointless.

eric, you should bump this and your post so they're at the top of the "culture" column until the 12th. blogcritics has moved up to three from the bottom now! woohoo!! i'm still in last. boohoo.

thanks rj. good news: blogcritics is up to 1.8% now, and has moved into 14th place ahead of "silent running." bad news: i'm still in last place with an unchanged 0.5% total.

We've already moved up a notch thanks to our GOTV campaign. (Eric, I STRONGLY encourage you to be hard-core on this issue...) Every vote counts. Let's start motivating our base!

(i posted this in eric's thread as well, but it never hurts to post again...) i've been voting for blogcritics every day. and have been encouraging people on my site to do so as well. and while you're there voting for blogcritics, why not help a fellow critic out and cast a vote for my site, ingrown brain stem in the "best humor blog" category? at least blogcritics is in whole numbers at 1.6%; i'm pulling up the rear at a pathetic 0.5% of the vote. please, take pity on me and make my mother proud. vote copygodd 2004!

thanks RJ, and remember, only paper ballots can ensure fair elections
