I know how to pick a winner
As you know, I back McCain for President. I now have proof positive — at least one day’s worth — that I know how to pick a winner. Why? Because every single one of the Watcher’s submissions that I voted for won. Yay! And I have to tell you, it was a much harder choice than that between McCain and Obama, which is, for me, a no-brainer. This week’s submissions, both Council and non-Council were so good I spent forever waffling back and forth as I tried to select the ones I thought were truly that much better than the others. So, without further ado, here are the results:
Council Winners
1. Wolf Howling – Standing At The Crossroads – Identity Politics, Multiculturalism & The Melting Pot – Winning submission with 3 votes!
