President Obama is as deserving of the Heisman Trophy as he is of a Nobel Peace Prize. Now there's a way for you to ensure that Barack Obama gets a real vote for the Heisman.

Enter "Barack Obama" as a write in candidate at ESPN (http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/contests/theheismanvote/2009/). He's only 10,908 votes behind Tim Tebow as of now, and surely Obama is a better quarterback than Tebow. Tebow's great, but he's no match for "The One," just ask the Nobel committee...

The athlete with the most votes in the Nissan sponsored poll will receive one official vote in the Heisman Trophy selection process. You've seen the president play ball, right? Heisman Trophy Winners are determined by votes from 924 electors representing sportswriters and broadcasters.

The groundswell has to start somewhere...

He's got my vote. Come CC this vote.

I think they're blocking it, otherwise he'd have won already.

His name isn't showing up on the vote-tally list.
