Update: Voting is now closed. Thanks everyone!
Forget Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, and Ron Paul. They can wait their turn.
Vote for me in 2008.
No, I’m not running for President. This is eminently more important.
On Moneymaking is in the race for best Business/Money blog at Performancing’s Blog Awards. Admittedly, I’m an upset candidate, facing stiff competition from some of the biggest personal-finance blogs on the Web, but I think we have a shot.
Why?
Because those other guys are Conservatives. They believe in conserving your income, incrementally increasing your savings until you can retire 30 years from now.
Me? I’m a Liberal. I believe in using your income to buy liberty, where you define your hopes and dreams and then make enough money to achieve them, as quickly as possible.
So, vote for me in 2008. No, I take that back. Vote for you.
This is about your freedom. This is about building a blogosphere you can be proud of. This is about rising up against the tyranny of frugality and saying, “I deserve to make more!”
Because it’s true. And I’ll personally make it my mission in 2008.
That’s my promise.
But only you can make it happen. Click here to vote.

Wait, wait, wait… Are you promising to make me more money or you more money?
I’d vote for you making me more money any day.

I was promising to make you more money, but it’s a joke. A cynical one
January 10th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Noooo, dude, never joke about money. *takes a look inside wallet and sighs* Really. It’s no laughing matter.

All best, Jan

Well, I’m not sure I follow the Conservative/Liberal metaphor, and I can’t say I’ve ever voted for a “liberal” before, but I voted for you last week. Good luck!

Hi Jon,
I just went there to vote, but the poll’s closed already (at 4:30 pm Pacific). Since there’s no time of day mentioned on the voting page, I would have thought the poll should be open til at least midnight EST.
In any case, congrats on making it into this prestigious competition with such a young blog!
Cheers,
Sheila
