Yeah, the payment is outstanding for both first and second place and it seems like a fun idea.

Aren't elections horrific enough ; )

More hopeless than horrific in the UK. ;)

Oooh. Hopefully I have better luck this year than I have had in year's past with this contest. Wait and see I suppose. Good luck to everyone taking a shot.

I always fail at contests but this one really piqued my interest - I've never written a story set around an election before.
