Our very own FReeper "Doctor ZIn" is now involved in a very important online contest between HIS website "Regime Change IRAN", and the equally well-respected "IRAQ the Model."BOTH have been nominated as finalists for the "Best Middle East blog" in the Annual Weblog Awards.
As Doctor ZIn posted on a previous thread:
www.WEBLOGawards.org
Earlier today I wrote the folks over at Iraq the Model, last year's winner of the weblog award and current leader in the polls.So, since "Iraq the Model" won LAST year...
I told them that I admired their work and was therefore frustrated that we are "competitors" in the weblogawards.
They [the folks over at Iraq the Model] wrote back, almost immediately:"I want you to know that I'm a big fan of your blog and I check it almost everyday!
I'm also in support of freedom for the people of Iran who deserve real democracy and true liberty.
Honestly, if your blog wins the title, I will be just as glad as if it were my blog."
...and since the elections in Iraq show that tremendous progess is being made over there -- in spite of DNC/media reports to the contrary......and since Doctor ZIn is a FReeper...
...and since Iran is currently governed by a MAD MAN......and since "Iraq the Model" is O.K. with "Regime Change Iran" winnning THIS year:

The same one you are. I just closed the window and opened it again. It doesn't refresh as fast as it does for RonDog. So? I just wait for his updated reports!!
Stupid rules.
LOL!
Just refreshed

Hmmm.....
done and bumped, he's about 80 votes short of #1 so let's bump him some more...
Yeah!
(And I don't remember when I hit it last... *embarrassed*)
*HUGS*
Yikes!! It seems they have more folks voting since the last update!!
Well, we've gotta get busy then!
Fret not! I only got to vote just this morning. So? You'll get to vote again.
Hmmm...I get 100+, blurblogger gets 80, you get 35.
I will just wait for posted updates, I guess. LOL
Yours are more current. Mine was from about 10 minutes ago. They've gotten more hits in that span. So? We'll just have to work harder to get the vote out!!
I just closed the window and opened it again.LOL!It doesn't refresh as fast as it does for RonDog.

I just open a NEW window each time.
If you just use your ""back" button, the old WINDOW keeps showing the old NUMBERS.It some goofy quirk of their "Flash" software, I think. :o)
I have voted.
BTTT
Dr. Zin is currently down 72 votes.
I'd vote again if they'd let me.

Here is how Regime Change Iran WAS chipping away at Iraq the Model's lead - until about an HOUR ago:It seems that the MASSIVE traffic to their website (as a result of today's ELECTION over there) is overcoming the effects of our FReeping...12/14 4:42 pm - 2507/2212 - 295
