Couple of things to deal with, here…

First of all, regarding that “1000 Vermonters for Change” project and the $35,000 so many of you pledged to send the primary winner the day after the primary. Well, it is the day after the primary, but clearly its a little premature to be mailing those $100 checks, as the winner isn’t entirely clear.

Everyone will be watching to see if the vote total changes meaningfully when it is certified in the next couple days – and then whether or not one of the other candidates opts to call for a recount. When it becomes clear who the nominee is, I’ll be sure to post a link to the winner’s fundraising page.

Second, we had a contest, yes? A mug or stein to whoever came closest to calling the final spread! Looking back at the entries, the winner is the not-quite-psychic-but-close-enough-to-be-a-bit-creepy placlair, whose prediction can be seen here.

So placlair – what’s it gonna be? Mug or stein? Email me at jodum-at-poetworld.net with an address, and I’ll send it your way shortly. Congratulations! If a recount really turns things on their heads, maybe somebody else will have to get one too…
