[update 6: Lieberman wins! Voting is over]
[update 5: oops I meant 1% not 1/10th of 1%. sorry, math error.]
[update 4: Over 6,000 votes, and STILL just a difference of about a dozen. This is incredible. Okay, so we're past noon, and in the interest of declaring a winner, whoever gets 1/10 of one percent ahead from this point on is the winner. However, if that doesn't happen by 7pm eastern, tonight, whoever is ahead at that exact moment -- regardless of margin -- will officially be crowned the top ass clown of 2009.]
[update 3: WOW, this is close. Let's keep going, but set an end: Jan 1st, at noon EST. However, to avoid a complete photo finish, let's say a winner is only crowned when one of them is ahead by at least 1/10 of one percent (roughly 60 votes now). Have fun!]
It's time for Round 6 -- the FINAL ROUND! The last step in our quest to choose the "ass clown of the year" for 2009 (see the first diary for further explanation).
Day 1 started with 10 candidates, day 2 with 8, day 3 with 6, day 4 with 4, day 5 with 3, and... we're down to 2. But in the end... there can be only one.
Sarah Palin came in last place in yesterday's vote, leaving Glenn Beck and Joe Lieberman are the final two. Those are your options. Choose wisely. Or choose assininely, if you prefer.
So he is indeed the favorite. But it ain't over til it's over, so...
Now, Beck got closest to the 50% mark last round, scoring 48%, up from 42% the previous round, and 36% the one before that.
Go ahead, vote, speak your piece, and... may the best ass clown win!
(please rec, so it's up long enough to get a critical mass of votes!)
