The current Antarctic Trip Vote count is as follows; 436 - 377 - 170 - 145 - 138 out of 167 candidates registered.
If you've already voted, then please encourage your family, friends, colleagues and neighbors to vote for the person whom you think would be best for this unique job: traveling to Antarctica for the month of February 2010 and writing about it for the public on a blog. Here is my 300-word essay. Voting ends 30 September and there is one vote allowed per valid email address (registration required).

Be the change we want to see...
Today is a big day for American Presidential politics, the so-called Super Tuesday when citizens in 24 states vote or caucus with their fellows to help select the candidates of the two main political parties. I live in one of those 24 states and Mrs. R. and I vote regular as clockwork.
I've been thinking about the Electoral College, that mechanism by which voters in the U.S. indirectly elect their president.
Are you registered? Do you know where to vote? You can find information and register (if you are not) here (this is an Obama site, but it works for everyone):
Are we to assume that 436 is you?
@anon: You can go to the site and select "sort by popularity" and see for yourself.
I voted! best of luck to you Grrl!
so... as of now, 446-386, GrrlScientist still in the lead, but no time to be complacent.
Thanks, MadScientist.
You are so humble...
I just voted - hope you win!
But not stop campaining yet the lead is not that big -yet!
OHHHH no!!!!!!!!!
The next guy has caught up it's now neck and neck 470 each - everyone has to get everyone they know to vote.
We should send a scientist and if GrrlScientist takes a Scientist along we'll get two for the price of one!!
