Mascot Voting

In what is sure to generate more citizen interest than a midterm election, the Mascot Hall of Fame (there's a mascot hall of fame?!?) has posted its 2006 ballot for entry into the venerable institution.

Anytime you have YoUDee squaring off against Bucky Badger and Western Kentucky's Big Red, you know it is going to go right down to the wire. (If your mascot's name is probably better known as a brand of gum, wouldn't that hurt your chances at getting in the hall?)

Ladies and gentlemen -- please, please, please -- run, don't walk to your nearest polling location (in every case this will be the computer sitting in front of you) to ensure your voice is heard in this historic vote.

UPDATE: According to the Mascot Hall of Fame's vote tally the Houston Rockets' Clutch the Bear is waaaaay ahead of the competition in the professional mascot category with 3,379,152 votes. The nearest competitor has 1,063,485. Something tells me we need to have Jimmy Carter monitor this election. Those vote totals just don't seem right. I mean, c'mon what does a teddy bear in a tank top have to do with rocketry?
