Day 2 into our GOtV efforts, and we're already convinced that we've peaked early and are a couple days from plateauing in preparation for an inevitable Dean style faceplant. While this would be followed by a sad but objectively entertaining Dean style meltdown, we don't think anyone wants to see that happen. Keep up the enthusiasm and if you haven't voted, please consider voting for us. Remember that these are different nominations for different categories, so you can vote for Mere Rhetoric separately in each category. In other words, by the time you're done - provided that you're a good human being of sufficient discrimination - you will have voted for us five times.

In other news: not only is Something... and Half of Something kicking our ass up and down the nominations in which we're going head to head, but Linda posted a list of nominations she supports (hint: not us) in categories she's not even in. Which means that Linda is the enemy. Not like Iran is the enemy. More like Lamar Alexander is the enemy.
