It had to happen...
[David] Cameron was the early favorite, but some other fellow named David Mauro, who runs a hard-left blog on Texas politics, went to Daily Kos and started diary-bombing the site begging people to run up the vote for them, by hook or by crook.
(above quote from Free Republic; from the comments it looks like some of these folks can't figure out how to vote in the poll...)
You can debate the wisdom of awarding this scholarship via Internet poll, but them's the rules. Let's outFReep the FReepers. If you haven't voted yet, you can do so here.
BTW, latest results show Mauro leading Cameron 12,346 to 11,635.
