There's only 57 more days--less than two months--before nominations for the Top DUmmies of 2017 begin, so if one has a favorite candidate, or candidates, right now is the best time to begin promoting; i.e., by featuring that particular primitive in threads in the DUmpster.
Nominations begin Thanksgiving Eve, November 22, about supper-time, Sandhills time, and the rest of the schedule will be announced as things unfold.
Primitives from Skins's island, DU Jr., Manny's message board, and nadin and truemud's new hangout RebelDem or whatever it's called, are all eligible for nomination and election.
