Voting for EconTalk, Chicago-Style

Today is the last day to vote for EconTalk over at the 2006 Weblog Awards. Voting ends at midnight. Although corpses cannot vote, it is legal to vote every 24 hours. So if you haven’t voted or haven’t voted often enough and want to support EconTalk, please head to the voting booth.

Thank you for your support. We are now in second place and closing on the leader.

For the best account of the real thing (Chicago-style voting), read Caro’s bio of LBJ. The first volume is magnificent, the best biography I have ever read. The second volume is mostly the incredible story of how Johnson stole the 1948 Senate race. It is riveting. Both volumes are an extraordinary picture of one man’s relentless ambition. It is a must-read for understanding the American political system and the human taste for power.
