Update: We are close to making the rec list! Please consider recing and, of course, voting!
The Daily Kos community has responded in a big way and helped me erase a 4000 vote defecit and pull into 1st place in a vote for a $10,000 Blogging Scholarship.
But there are still four days left and my lead is narrowing my the minute. Please help me (David Mauro, a staff writer for Burnt Orange Report, a leading progressive blog in Texas) win the scholarship.
VOTE NOW.

So many Kossacks have helped me. You guys aren't a "mob" as some have said ... you are a community and I'll never forget the support you have given me.
I am asking you to vote for me in this contest not just because I am the only progressive political blogger in the finals.
I am asking for your vote because I have built a body of work at Burnt Orange Report that I believe is deserving of this award. Take a look for yourself.
To all those who have donated diaries, rec'd diaries, left comments, sent e-mails to friends and, of course, voted, I thank you.
But the poll does not close until Thursday night and I still need your help.
VOTE NOW
Thanks for your help,
David Mauro
