New Front Page Guest Editor Elections Coming

•  
• by: Colorado Pols

We’d like to thank our two front page guest editors for the first half of 2009, redstateblues and Laughing Boy for their work and insightful commentary. Hats off to both of them.

We will be holding an election for two new front-page editors next week. The new editors will start around July 1st, and barring anything unexpected will hold their position until the end of 2009–at which time we’ll hold another election. Representing a slight change from prior front page editor elections, we’ve decided to make this a nonpartisan affair: we’ll hold one poll of nominees, and the top two finishers from that poll will win the coveted front page editor spots. And naturally, the two current editors are automatically renominated unless they decline, in keeping with our general view on the deleterious effects of term limits.

As always do not be alarmed, your humble anonymous hosts will still be pulling the strings behind the curtain, carrying out all the plutocratic agendas we are so frequently accused of masterminding. Use this thread to nominate (and second) candidates for the position–you’re free to nominate yourself, of course, and we are not aware of any restrictions on campaign spending.
