Yesterday I e-mailed Markos explaining to him that I was the only progressive blogger in a blogging scholarship contest for $10,000.
I didn't expect him to even respond.
But within an hour or two Markos had posted this to a Midday Open Thread:
Burnt Orange Report's David Mauro is the only progressive blogger in line for a $10,000 blogging scholarship. Go vote for him.
I quickly went from the middle of the pack to being a top contender. But I still need your help to win. Please vote for me now. It takes a few seconds.
I am a full-time student and a $10,000 scholarship would mean the world to me. I write for Burnt Orange Report, a leading progressive blog in Texas. Please help me win it. Vote for me now.
You can also help by joining my Facebook Event and inviting all your friends. Seriously, this takes so little time and it would help me so much.
I am the only progressive blogger in this race. Please help me and together we can get a win for the liberal blogosphere.
Vote now.
Thanks for your support. Please take a few seconds and vote for me today.
David
