After three days of voting, with seven more to go, and not counting the six who voted by g-mail thus far (always the "wild card" here, to help the suspense), these are the early leaders:

Willie: Alan Grayson
Steve: Omaha Steve
Rob: nadinbrzezinski

Top DUmmie: BanTheGOP
This cannot stand. There is no way Omaha Steve can be allowed to come in 1st (or even 2nd) for the Steve. Mark-my-words, Steve coming in 1st is going to touch off the end of the world foretold in the Mayan calendar.

Well, all four of the abovementioned primitives are running way ahead of the pack, in the exit polls right now.

Well, I don't understand how nadin can be leading in the hilarity department.  Does she really make you laugh after all this time?  Has no nadin fatigue set in?  I'm getting election anxiety all over again.

It truly surprised me too, but that's what the exit polls show, a third of the way through the election.

The exit polls don't reflect votes cast via g-mail though; and those totals when added in could be spoilers.

By the way, nothing funny's going on with the g-mail votes; I got seven of them, and they're all from bona fide sources, people familiar to me.

But anyway, I thought for sure Atman would be a shoo-in for the Robyn McGrath award; I just couldn't see any other primitive who's been as rollicking funny, as the evil twin.

Whooops.

In fact, it seems as if franksolich's primitives got the Kiss of Death, simply by being nominated by me.

So much for franksolich's "clout."

I have to caution people that oftentimes a single vote is the margin separating the winners.....and so it's important to vote.  One vote can change a primitive's life.

Woohoo!  So far, three of my candidates are "winning"!  Come on everybody, vote Steven the lesser for the Willie!

This is kinda shocking. He wasn't mentioned for the Willie until page 12 (of 13) on the nomination thread and now he's the front runner.

Uh huh, which is why this surprised me.

But if you tally this voting thread, you'll see it's so.

Among other oddities in the current exit poll, there's three primitives tied for third spot, O'Dorkio, the oblate spheroid, and the Taverner primitive.

But these are early returns, and so probably signify nothing.

Not voting yet, but I just have to say that to TRULY honor Steve, he should come in third place for this award. Otherwise, this could be the first voting result, ever, that he actually won. I don't want Conservative Cave to be responsible for the only Omaha Steve victory.

Good point.

Stevie boy always seems to come in third, even when there are only two in the race!   :lmao:

You know, there's a trend here.

The first winner of the Willie, the William Rivers Pitt award, was the lying tits primitive, TomInTib.

It wasn't until the second year that the Bostonian Drunkard got the award named for him (and as it was a tie, he had to share it with Bouncy Ball).

Unless things change in a hurry, and they probably won't, it looks as if the first winner of the Rob, the Robyn McGrath award, isn't going to be Atman.

Well, it looks as if the front-runner in the exit polls is still maintaining his lead for top DUmmie of 2012, halfway through the election.

The second, and final, exit poll will be posted Sunday.

The voting ends Wednesday, circa suppertime out here in the Sandhills.

The frontrunner has made, at most, ten posts worth of note this entire year.

Granted, he's a certifiable lunatic, though not professionally diagnosed like Dennis the Menace.

But his contributions to our entertainment have been so few, so far between by comparison with the reigning DOTY, as to make his candidacy a joke.

He'll be a more shameful choice than Proud2BDUmb a couple of years ago.

Oh now.

But surely you can't be more grievously disappointed than I am.

I'd voted for thirteen primitives--the first votes on this thread, so as show everybody else how to cast their votes--and at the time I was damned sure these'd be the winners.  There couldn't possibly be any primitives more worthy of note for 2012, than the primitives for whom franksolich voted.

No way; these were top-of-the-line primitives.

Well, as the populi continue to vox, I became dismayed seeing not everybody agrees with franksolich; in fact, hardly anybody else does.

So much for my "clout," as you called it.

That still however leaves you 9 more votes for the Top DUmmies.

Re-read the ballot; surely you can find nine more primitives worthy of recognition.

It'd be a shame to not cast all votes available to one.
