Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This is it. After nearly 5000 entries and four rounds of competition, I am competing as one of two finalists in the final round of the Washington Post’s “America’s Next Great Pundit” Competition. Each round has been decided by online votes so it is because of your help that I have made it this far and I am asking for your help one last time.

Voting for this FINAL round is happening TODAY until 8 pm EST and takes 10 seconds. You can vote here:

Thank you,

Zeba
