While I would rank fame-seeking way way down at the bottom of the list of reasons I write this blog, a blogger does need to gin up publicity to get ideas and preferred interpretations of political events into broader circulation.
To that end, I’ve been conspiring with some of your other LV Blogosphere Overlords to win the Morning Call’s Best Blogs of the Lehigh Valley contest.
We put together the above slate of blogs and will harness the awesome power of the Internet to massively pester everyone in our networks to vote every day for all of these blogs, every day between now and March 27th every day. Every day!
Joking aside, all of these people deserve your vote. This list is a Who’s Who of writers who are working to promote a positive forward-looking vision for the region’s future, and it is refreshingly free of the unproductive curmudgeony and Hess’s Lament™ that sadly characterizes too much of the LV blogosphere.
I would very much appreciate it if you would help me and the rest of my blogger friends on this list win this contest by voting every day.
One word of warning – you have to create a Morning Call login if you don’t have one, and the login is being kind of screwy for some people. Andrew McGill has assured me they’re looking into it, but don’t be discouraged! It’s not clear if the problem is browser-related, but people seem to be having the best luck with Chrome or Safari, or logging in with Google. Every day!
Thanks for the list of radical Progressive Liberal Democrats to be avoided!
I can't wait to watch your head explode when this blog is hosted at the Morning Call.
"….by voting every day."
You learn well at the feet of your Chicago-style masters Jon! No sense in letting the votes be fair, let's game the system.
Why are you so devoid of ethics that you'd want to benefit from such an obvious sham? Don't you ever want to win something fair and square?
Don't you understand how the Internet works? This is how every online contest works. It's about mobilizing your network.
Team work!
So it is about gaming the system. Therefore, no legitimacy.
I do wish for the old days when people had ethics, credibility, etc.
I thought voting was legitimate. Why is campaigning ok in politics but not in other realms? Isn't it all really political?
