No Quarter: The Stretch

The Minnesota quarter, despite a full-court press by the Denver mainstream media, has pulled within fifty votes of the Colorado quarter in RadioBlogger's poll on the subject.

I'd like to emphasize this, ladies and gentlemen. This is not about which quarter you prefer; if it were, I'd vote "North Dakota" or "New York".

No. This is about kicking Colorado's butt. We - Minnesota, especially Minnesota bloggers and their fans - pummelled Colorado in last winter's "Spirit of America" fundraiser. We need to do it again.

Get out there, and vote "Minnesota". Hell, don't even look at the quarter, but vote. Unless you plan to vote Colorado.

Thanks.

UPDATE 1341CDT: We're around forty votes back. If you haven't voted, get on it. You can vote twice a day - from work and at home. Since most Coloradans don't have jobs, we SHOULD have a 2:1 advantage; they're basically Californians without tans anyway.

Let's ice this thing!

UPDATE 1517CDT: Thirty back. Good surge! I'll be voting a couple times on my way home today. You do the same.

Lest you think this isn't important, just remember: Minnesota=Prince, the Replacements, Hüskers Dü, Morris Day and the Time. Colorado=John Denver and Dan Fogelberg. Your mission is clear.
