Here are the approximate results of the Ten Buck Fridays poll for the week of July 4 - July 9:
Fourth place: Ann Marie Buerkle, 6.4%
Third place: Teresa Collett, 11.4%
Second place: Charles Lollar, 16.0%
First place: Eric Wargotz, 54%
All four of the top candidates reached out to their supporters for TBF votes via Facebook, Twitter, email, etc.
I am proud to be a member of the rapidly-growing TBF network, and I'm very pleased with the interest TBF continues to generate. Stay tuned for exciting developments. Big news is right around the corner.
Normally, I strongly encourage everyone to rally behind the winner of the TBF poll by earmarking at least $10 for that candidate. Unfortunately, the gentleman in first place has generated quite a bit of controversy. This week (and this week only) I ask you to bend the rules and go with your gut.
Please make your weekly contribution and come back here to brag about it!
(Don't forget to "label" your donation!)

Hey, Right Klik. Please be fair. You did not provide a link to the Dr's donation page.
No Sheeples Here is supporting Charles Lollar in this week's Ten Buck Friday.
I thought that ignoring election results was something they did in third-world countries, not here in the US.
Thanks NSH!

Hi Tom,
Is there an email address I can use to contact you?
My email address is located in the sidebar.
Made my contribution to Charles Lollar -- an outstanding candidate. I wont comment on the other candidate except to say that I don't believe he is credible and he would be a poor choice to represent the Conservative cause in November.
I won't be sending any money to the winner either. Sorry, no birthers for me.
This is getting huge.
Hi RK:
TBF post is up on TCL with encouragement to make an informed decision.
Again, I am nominating Marco Rubio. His fight against Crist is becoming more of a challenge every day. The oil spill is giving Crist a boost in the polls. It will be a travesty if Crist is sent to the Senate.
Hey RK. I finally got the announcement post up. Been a busy morning. As I said at my place, I think one great side effect of TBF, the vetting of candidates, is coming through.
Here's a link to my post:

I would also like to nominate Van Irion for next weeks poll. I admit, I have no knowledge of him except what I've seen on his website, but I really like his message and what he is doing. Maybe through the polling process we can find out more.
I wrote a post on him yesterday.

The Tennessee primary is Aug 5.

Thanks again for featuring the robot this week! You-da-man!
Thanks for all your hard work on this fine Ten Buck Friday, RK!

I don't know about being a birther but I do believe that obama is not the president because as a adult he carried two passports one from indonisia and the other from the US and I think that makes him Ineligible to hold the office of president. As for donation I sent my 10 to Charles. He has been to my club 3 times in baltimore county and Dr.W has ignored our invitations even though Don Murphy is a member of our club.

I will help both Lollar and Wargotz... They both are the best chance we have to beat their entrenched opponents in the Peoples Republic of Maryland (PRM)...
RK - I agree with your analysis. Lollar is quite worthy of our conservative dollars. Wargotz is not. Thanks for being thorough and scrupulous.
What a kerfuffle. I sent TBF $$ to Ann Marie Buerkle.
lilacsunday.blogspot.com/2010/07/ten-buck-fridays-eric-wargotz.html
I nominate Joe Miller. He's a conservative Republican primarying less than conservative incumbent Lisa Murkowski (R) in Alaska. Miller has been endorsed by Sarah Palin, Alaska Right to Life, and a number of local politicians in AK.
I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my nomination for Chris Gibson for $10Fridays.
http://www.chrisgibsonforcongress.com/home.html
Gibson is running against Scott Murphy (a 'Yes' vote for 0bamacare and Cap & Trade) in New York's 20th district and retired from a 24 year military career as a full-bird Colonel earlier this year.
In the interest of full disclousre, I do not live in the district but I have relatives who do and can't stand that their congresscritter backing the 0bama/Pelosi agenda after running as a moderate in last year's NY-20 Special Election.
