Contest I entered - Olympic bound!?!

[cral12]

Calgary Flames fan and aspiring sportswriter would like your support in a bid to win a contest to go to the Olympics:

Send Me To The Olympics!
"I’ve entered the Globe and Mail’s Journalism Dream contest that could send me to the Olympics as a sportswriter. It definitely would be a dream come to true if I could win, but I need your votes to land me in Vancouver 2010. This is likely to be a once in a lifetime experience to cover, capture and experience the Olympics on our home soil.
*Please go to: http://journalismdream.theglobeandma...cle.asp?id=398
*Sign up and vote."

I'm over 250 votes right now. You can vote daily up until Nov 22.09. Top vote getter has over 1500 votes. 10th place has over 500. I need to be in Top 50 to have entry considered for grand prize!

Any and all support much appreciated and voters are entered in a separate contest to win a prize package including a camera and laptop!

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Chris

*Phaneuf is mentioned in the article "Attack After The Hit - Hockey's Next Epidemic"

Voted. journalistic neutrality be damned...if you win, I expect you to wear a Flames jersey everywhere you go in Vancouver.

A good friend of mine is currently 9th or 10th (depending upon the time). His is the "He'll never be in the NHL" submission. My daily vote goes to him. (He also got to me before the call for a CP jihad)

Great guy and an even better dad.

I hope you do well Cral, but if you decide to call it a day, I'd strongly encourage you to throw your "team" support behind my buddy Geoff.

Thanks for straight shooting Killer Carlson.

Not throwing in the towel just yet though...just looking to get in the Top 50 so that entry gets consideration.

Your buddy, Geoff, appears to be a shoe in for consideration than!
