So I have some disappointing news to report to all you web-people/Choose-Your-Newsers (Still taking suggestions as to what I should call all of you watching out in cyberland). For Thursday's story, TWO-THOUSAND of you voted. For Friday's story, less than THREE-HUNDRED. Unacceptable. Have I done something wrong? This weekend I will be working on a massive get out the vote strategy. In the meantime, here's how all 269 of you voted for today's story:
Hunting Season Widows: 54%
Consumer Spending this Holiday Season: 36%
Arkansas reLeaf Program: 10%
With an almost twenty-point lead, Hunting Season Widow's it is. Sounds easy but I've already run into my first hurdle of the day. The Hunting Widow who submitted the most detailed story submission of the day lives in... OKLAHOMA. No way we can make there and back in time for the evening news. So here's my game plan: go to the men, and their women can't be far behind. Unless you guys send me some fabulous angle in the next few minutes, I'm think I'm going to head to Fort Thompson in North Little Rock to get the men. See if they have any suggestions. If not, we'll head to the Junior League's Holiday House where I know we'll find some women flying solo this weekend. Wish me luck.
