America’s Next Great Pundit: Plug

islamoyankee

My friend Zeba Khan is up for “America’s Next Great Pundit.” She is also founder of Muslim Americans for Obama. Absolutely lovely and charming person, but more importantly for this process, a good writer. Please see her email below, and while I’d prefer you vote for her, feel free to vote your conscience. I won’t know.

Salaams Friends,

Last week, I was selected as one of ten contestants in the Washington Post’s “America’s Next Great Pundit” competition. Nearly 5,000 entries were submitted. The Post is holding an online voting weekend starting today and ending Monday, Nov 9th at 3pm EST for readers to choose the top 4 (plus 1 Judges’ pick) to move on to the next round.

I am shamelessly asking for your vote. It takes all of 3 seconds and would make the difference between my proceeding to the next round or getting the axe!

Also, should you feel so inclined to post on your facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. or email your friends (with your suggestion on who to vote for), please do! 🙂

Thank you,

Zeba Khan
