    Shannyn 238 votes, #2 167 votes. Nice expanding margin of 71 votes . Way to go, Mudpuppies!!

  2. MonaLisa IS MY NAME! says:

    Whew, I see my Sis followed through and voted from Phoenix, AZ. She’s not real computer savvy, so proud of her now.

    Like I said last night:

    Much easier this go round, didn’t have to do all the signup hoops like when we first voted for AKM. Just pressed on the link rightside & midway down Shannyn’s application page saying:

    ” Grassroots Supporters
    Add your support ”

    After doing that it pulled up the login screen which just required my email address & password (some may have been smart last time to have it ‘remember’ but dumb me! I found the PW back in an old email May 16th from Democracy for America.

    Left my comments and it’s a Done Deal!

    I do think it’s worthwhile to say where people are voting from. So that they see how MANY of Shannyn’s supporters & readers of her blog are coming from all over the country. We’re not only Alaskans that enjoy her blog.

  4. Gramiam says:

    208 votes, 41 ahead of #2. My understanding is that the voting will close on July 5 so we need to pull way ahead and stay there. Trust me, Shannyn, you are well worth the effort for all your hard work. Just the thought of you and AKM together in Pittsburgh gives me big ol’ goosebumps!

    Pearl:

    I agree about the “not so friendly” navigation. It has changed since we voted on the last round. Under Grassroots Supporters you can click “see all” and that is where you can see if your comment/vote made it. I was #197.

  6. UgaVic says:

    I got my vote in too.

    You can vote for more than one person. I also voted for a 17 year old kid from my NC because that’s my home state and I think we do need young people involved in politics.

    If there are more young people to support – let us know – I agree, we need more youth involved.

  7. seattlefan says:

    Hey Shannyn (I know you are reading this thread! 😉

    I just put my vote in. Looks like you might be a definite winner. Your numbers arein in the 190’s. I just love the thought of you, AKM and Brian on this most excellent adventure. Best of luck! I used my mudflats screen name, so you will see it.

  8. pearl89 says:

    I just voted. Shannyn was 181 after I voted. The next person had 165.

    You can vote for more than one person. I also voted for a 17 year old kid from my NC because that’s my home state and I think we do need young people involved in politics.

    Not a very friendly site to navigate. Instead of voting, you support. Maybe, AKM and Shannyn can bring this up at the convention.

  9. MinNJ says:

    I can’t imagine two more powerful voices for Alaska and their say for all of us.

  10. MinNJ says:

    I’m going there, too.

  11. Jim says:

    #178!

  12. weaver57 says:

    They really do need to make this site more user friendly. I think I voted for Shannyn, but somehow felt more secure when I voted for AKM.

  13. Gramiam says:

    171 supporters and in 1st place!! Mudpuppies ROCK!!

  14. John(Canadian MudPuppy) says:

    Your Scholarship Nominee Choices

  16. Empish says:

    tied @165

  17. austintx says:

    I was just 162. I have issue with Watson not being included , but I’ll get over it. I mean , with one lift of a leg , he said it all.

  18. moseyon says:

    161

  19. John(Canadian MudPuppy) says:

    Your ahead in the vote Shannyn and we will do everything to keep you there. It will be great to have you and AKM at this great event. My vote is already in there.

  20. SlappyOC says:

    I voted and will keep my fingers crossed!

  21. Lee323 says:

    Good luck, Shannyn!

    You certainly got my vote for all the great progressive work you have been accomplishing in Alaska and beyond.

  22. Empish says:

    She’s second by 19 votes! Come on people!

  23. bubbles says:

    califpat~~~check end of open thread. left reply

  24. CO almost native says:

    The is OT, but it is something AKM and Shannyn could comment on:

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/25/limbaugh-blames-sanfords_n_220993.html

    Bwa ha ha…Limbo must be from Alaska, because you can’t make this up-

  25. mhrt says:

    Man they make you work hard to vote over there… I think that I was 150 something. Way to go Shannyn.

  26. Canadian Neighbour says:

    CO almost native

    Shannyn is 2nd at the moment. They are not automatically in order of position.

    Should you go to the page to see what position and number of votes Shannyn has, under the Sort By, click on ‘# of Supporters’ and this will put the participants in the correct position order.

  27. 264 Crayons says:

    Voted!

  28. CO almost native says:

    She’s number 1! She’s number 1! Goooooooo…Shannyn!

  29. CO almost native says:

    I voted yesterday– love to vote daily, but Netroots won’t let me. I’ll text the youngest tonight, and have her vote 😉

  30. 264 Crayons says:

    Sorry I didn’t know where to put this but as the LA legislative session winds down today we had hip hop/rapper/singer hurricane chris single “halle berry she’s fine” to the house. No lie. And like the lady in blue sayz, “We got cake in the back!!!!”

    HOLY CRAP I NEED TO MOVE TO A DIFFERENT STATE. SERIOUSLY.

  31. Canadian Neighbour says:

    Mudpups attack their Mission with GUSTO!!

    Shannyn presently is in 2nd place. Considering Shannyn was listed on Page 3 last evening with ZERO votes — her numbers are adding up!!

    Should you go to the page to see what position and number of votes Shannyn has, under the Sort By, click on ‘# of Supporters’ and this will put the participants in the correct position order.

    Voting is open until July 6th – So involve your friends, relatives, neighbours, co-workers & Countrypeople (automatically typed Countrymen!!). If you are visiting them, encourage them to sign up and vote. You will be able to assist them to make it easier!!

    This being the last round available for this year, some of these people have been on the list since round one together with many new ones. This is their last chance for this year.

    Keep up the great work Mudpuppies!!!

  32. Moose Pucky says:

  33. califpat says:

    Alrighty then!!!! Finally received my password in my email. I persisted and did not give up and I succeeded in voting!! Now I can stop whining. Yea!!

  34. I voted. Would love to have AKM & Shannyn take Pittsburgh by storm!!! Phil, Celtic Diva, Gryphon – start planning for next year, cuz you guys are goin’!!!!

  35. pvazwindy says:

  37. I voted early. Can I go back and vote again?

  38. Marnie says:

    119 votes Keep it going Mudpuppies.

  39. califpat says:

    I tried and tried but cant get passed the “invalid password” part. Sheesh!!!

  40. Moose Pucky,

    In AKM’s article, click on “HERE” and you’ll get there.

  41. Moose Pucky says:

    Is there a link for this? I enjoyed Shannon on Talk of Alaska this week.

  42. Blue_in_AK says:

    Endorsed with pleasure. Good luck, Shannyn.

  43. zyggy says:

    109 first place right now, don’t expect anyone to take over the lead. =)

  44. 3rd place – 107 votes.

  45. C. Rock says:

    I have voted also.

  46. Irishgirl says:

    That site is not easy to navigate

  47. Irishgirl says:

    I think I have voted!

    Someone in Round 1 was elected with ZERO supporters!

    Goes to show what a great resume can do!
    ===

    No one in round 1 Winners had ZERO votes. Their vote numbers no longer show due due to however their computer program is written.

    Also, you can vote for more than one blogger in the same round i.e. Vote for Shannyn in AK and vote for a blogger in NY.

  49. weaver57 says:

    Voted and remembered password, well, after a bit!

  50. califpat says:

    I tried to vote but they say that my email address is already in use and that I need to reset my password. I did have them to reset my password and they said they would send my password to my email address and they havent. This happened to me when I tried to vote for AKM and I was going to ask for help to see how to resolve it but my daughter went into labor and had a beautiful baby boy and I have been helping her and it slipped my mind. Now I am having the same problem. I must have put in a password at some point that I cant remember and even though they say to reset the password and they will send me the password via email, they havent. Anybody know how I can resolve this and vote for Shannyn?

    @Bubbles: Thanks. No need to be jealous, this is my eighth grandchild. I can send you one if you want. LOL!!

  51. samper says:

    Someone in Round 1 was elected with ZERO supporters!

    Goes to show what a great resume can do!

  52. BigPete says:

    Amazingly, I remembered my password…..so I’m good for a third candidate!

  53. samper says:

    Same for Shannyn! 🙂

  54. samper says:

    Next year, we should have AKM, SHANNYN, and CD for rounds 1, 2 and 3, since you can only vote once per round (as it should be!).

    In the meantime, let’s not forget CD’s mission of emails!

    Donate, if you can! She’s only about $1000 away (at last check).

    AKM: Do you need help with airfare and meals? My understanding is that your “all access” ticket and hotel will be paid, along with SOME meals.

    We would NEVER have you miss this for lack of funds!

    Just say the word!!!

    🙂

  55. Terise says:

    Me, too 🙂

  56. wynsplc says:

    I voted!

  57. ds55 says:

    Shannyn has 85 supporters now, she’s #7.

  58. Alaskan Sisu says:

    83 and counting now…good luck.

  59. austintx says:

    What about Watson ??

  60. Gramiam says:

    75 supporters and now in 9th place. Way to go, mudpuppies. I was 22 this a.m. Count on your mudpuppy friends, shannyn!

  61. LiladyNY,

    I have to work that week. Darn!

  62. LiladyNY says:

    I voted! I voted! Now get Diva and Gryphen and Phil Munger! Wouldn’t that just be amazing?

  63. Ripley in CT says:

    *faint, swoon, gasp*

    Both you and Shannyn in Pittsburgh at the Mudstock? I’m not sure if I can handle it! But of course, she got my vote sometime around #26 🙂

  64. Doggonit says:

    Voted!

  65. Cassie Jeep Pike Palin says:

    Homework done! I voted!

  66. AK Born and Raised says:

    What about Celtic Diva?

    To my knowledge, Shannyn and I are the only two who are applying. Others are not able. AKM

  67. bigdayqueen says:

    Shannyn got my vote. You go girl!!!

  68. fawnskin mudpuppy says:

    i voted. i voted.

  69. phoebe says:

    It would seem that your gov no longer has Alaska’s core interest at heart & Alaska’s “progressive bloggers” are going to be key in helping the state and its people.

  70. phoebe says:

    I’m in! It would be great if you both went.

  71. Memphis, NY says:

    I voted
    don’t tell Shannon but we can’t let her get more than 435 votes. She can’t beat AK for hopefully the MOST votes for any candidate
    🙂
