I tweeted and posted an update to my Facebook account several hours ago about this, but I know a few WLST readers don’t do either Twitter or Facebook so let me put it here:
Today, I received an email from Air America that said I’ve garnered enough support in their win a cruise with Air America Contest to place me in the Top 5 most nominated contestants in the event. I have until Thursday, December 3rd to stay in the Top 5 before the second voting round begins.
The contest winner gets a free seven day cruise through the Mexican Riviera from March 6 – 13, 2010 with Gov. Howard Dean, Rachel Maddow, Robert Kennedy Jr, Ron Reagan, and other leading progressives. Given how often we read other pundits lament, “Where are all the lady political bloggers,” I’m thinking it’s high time we raise the profile of the only female political blogger to run for and get elected to office, in the country (or so Alan Rosenblatt and I have calculated so far.)
It only takes a minute to submit a nomination for me to help stay in the top 5 for the final vote.
What you need to do:
- Click Here to get to the page on Air America’s site.
- Scroll down, enter your name, your email address, my name “Jill Miller Zimon” and then cut and past in this website address for WLST: http://writeslikeshetalks.com
- Then press submit! That’s it!
I promise to send you a postcard – and bring you back some sand?

Done.
You’ll post pictures. Right?
Sure – who should I pose with? Should they have to pay? Make it a fundraiser? /jk promise /jk
If I were going, I’d want a picture with Rachel Maddow. I really like her show.
[...] would be nice if I got more than a t-shirt out of all this shilling. Posted in Blogging No Comments [...]
….another vote for Jill.
Another vote added. Can we vote more than once?
Done. For a couple reasons:
Anyone who has not campaigned doesn’t know what a complete nightmare it actually is.
Now that you’ve won the really hard part start, constituents with needs/wants and not a lot of patience. Lots of blame available and not much credit.
I have personal knowledge of the first part and good friends who are or have been Councilors and Mayors.
