Not exactly a serious exercise if they've got Jackson and Favre as a choice.

I see the poll is closed now, and results will be available Sat at noon.... I'd probably have voted for Limbaugh, but certainly can see that Beck has done some great work in waking up people of both sides of the aisle. His 9-12 project did really start something big, and I think we're going to see how big after the first of the year...maybe in the spring.
