Ten Buck Fridays: Winner's Circle

A short but very sweet "Ten Buck Fridays" poll ― short because we're starting on Tuesday, but sweet because it's a winner's circle this week. All of the candidates featured in this week's poll have won in previous TBF polls. Many were considered to be underdogs early in the election season, but now they're much more competitive. All of these candidates need our help...

The TBF poll in a nutshell: This is a poll designed to promote rising conservative stars. At the end of each week, the winner is promoted by a network of over 80 conservative blogs and will receive a flurry of contributions from patriots across the country. More information here.

*Note: I changed one of the security settings on the TBF poll this week. Unfortunately, this allowed for thousands of illegitimate votes from overzealous voters. The data were carefully analyzed and the inappropriate votes were excluded. After this process was completed, the final results were compared with this week's TBF traffic and voting patterns from previous polls. Results were entirely consistent with old trends and with all of the data examined. Stephen Broden was the clear winner before and after this process was undertaken. I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused by the change in the poll numbers. Thank you for your patience and support!
