Pam's only hope for a top five finish is if she dies and live-tweets it.
I just thought of something; this year's contest for the Top DUmmie is strongly reminiscent of the contest for the Democrat presidential nomination in 1956.
Adlai Stevenson had been the Democrat candidate in 1952, and it was generally assumed he'd be again.
But not quite; Estes Kefauver got into it, and then Harry Truman went to work for Averell Harriman.
(For lurking primitives, whose knowledge of history is absymal, Stevenson had been governor of Illinois, and lost to Dwight Eisenhower in a landslide in 1952; Kefauver was a U.S. Senator from Tennesseee and an occasional presidential candidate, and Harriman was then governor of New York.)
I'm looking at the oblate spheroid as Adlai Stevenson, Pamela as Estes Kefauver, and the pie-and-jam primitive as Averell Harriman.
