      <![CDATA[well - to be absolutely honest i think it's sorta shameful to see bloggers putting up posts asking people to vote for them. and it's a very concerted effort by both bloggers. Instead of people looking at bloggers in the contest and determining who is the best blogger, they're arriving with the decision already made up. <br />
Its turned into a popularity contest. <br />
<br />
And just to be absolutely clear - Dave on the USS Mariner blog is now running a donation drive to raise 10K for himself. That's pretty pathetic.

      <![CDATA[Support the local blogger, Dave Cameron.  While baseball statistics may not seem like a very educated topic, with research you will see how Sabermetrics and the study of baseball statistics can be an extremely fascinating subject.  His blogs are well researched, poignant and fun to read.

      <![CDATA[What fnarf said. If you like Nate Silver, there's no reason you shouldn't like Dave Cameron. They come from virtually the same background. Frankly, if one of 'em can get a scholarship in econ because of his work on baseball stats, etc., I'm all for it. The more Nate Silvers, the better.

      <![CDATA[Living in a world of virtual make-believe is just what people with more money to lend for further education is all about...????<br />
<br />
given the fact that franchise rights and soft drink picture cup logos end up in the trash and on the street or in someones hand waiting for change before most consumers realize the advertising costs involved in lucrative and (not so lucrative endorsements deals are only the lead in to habitualized return sales would give anybody but the most "uptight" the get up and use your friends to fake the plug... after all.. isn't that what friends are for?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
viruses survive... <br />
<br />
agent smith implied this by binding together enough anti what-evers.... <br />
<br />
( imagine a horde of viruses in waiting like cars backed up in rush hour traffic...) <br />
<br />
<br />
...so as to confuse the defending aminos or nutrinos or what-ever it is your "come on chemist " want's to put in your pretty little mouth... <br />
<br />
given the fact of course, that your get a lucrative photo cup endorsement deal and not a small time teaser amount gauranteed to get you into the hackers super-bowl of intel spammers and homeland security wonks.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, you could hang around the park and listen for incoming amounts of social security to try and share and everyone would go kwaaayzzee with jealousy.<br />
<br />
then again... you could try to write an amazingly new movie script from an idea that never existed.

      <![CDATA[Cameron is a good baseball blogger, but to say that he generates insightful comments is overly generous. The comment threads at USS Mariner are unreadable fan wank. In fact everybody at USS Mariner, including Cameron, takes baseball way too seriously. Which means I'll probably be banished from Safeco Field next year.

      <![CDATA[When I was in the third grade, this girl in the row next to me in my class drew a picture of a horse. An Appaloosa, I think, and she kinda copied it from the encyclopedia. This other girl, who also liked to draw horses, didn't think the picture was so great, and made some snide comments about it to a bunch of other kids on the other side of the classroom. All sorts of drama erupted, and the two girls had a fight on the playground. Jonah, I gotta tell you, I care more about the outcome of that fight in third grade that already happened than I could ever possibly care about the outcome of anything that happens between the complete and utter douchebags mentioned in your post. Also, I will be sending you a bill for the electricity used while I read your post and wrote this comment.

      <![CDATA[I read Daily Kos every day. I posted on there that I voted for David Cameron and why.<br />
<br />
I  have been following his work since he was in high school. It was excellent then and it's better now. He has been consistently thoughtful and high-level in his approach. He is a serious, dedicated blogger, and he raises the bar for bloggers everywhere. When I see any post of his, I want to read it.<br />
<br />
Mauro might be deserving, but I'm not as familiar with his work. For me, this one was a no-brainer.<br />

      <![CDATA[Cameron is a knowledgeable baseball writer and analyst.  While his claims of 100% accuracy on his opinions are laughably false, he does offer some insights that are not found everywhere.  He does have an extremely one-sided viewpoint on matters where he has rendered an opinion, and his comments threads are snake-pits where no moderation of regulars takes place, so long as they agree with the boss.  Take an opposing view, and prepare to have all sorts of insults hurled in your direction.  And this has nothing to do with bringing an intelligent argument, like they claim, just a different perspective.

      <![CDATA[What Fnarf said.  Objectively speaking, Dave's writing on USSM has had a bigger real-world impact than Mauro's writing at Kos.  I voted Cameron.<br />
<br />
However, may I also say that I think it's a horrible waste of money to put a $10,000 scholarship up for a public internet vote.  That just turns it in to a popularity contest.

      <![CDATA[fnarf @ 20 pretty much made the case. <br />
<br />
I just want to add that David Cameron blogs about Seattle. David Mauro doesn't.

      <![CDATA[Quotes like this "It would be a crime against humanity for an excellent progressive blogger to lose to a guy who blogs about the damn Mariners" remind me why, tho I poured money into Obama and cried during his victory, hate liberals so damn much. Ick. I need to go read NRO for awhile (ok, 5 seconds ought do it) to remind myself why I support the Democrats.

      <![CDATA[The thing is, Dave Cameron is a really, really good baseball blogger, one of the best in the entire field, while David Mauro is an extremely pedestrian blogger on local Texas politics. Cameron has a much greater impact on the community at large; his readership is extraordinarily high, and (unlike Mauro) his entries generate hundreds of insightful comments. Mauro's entries typically get two or five comments.<br />
<br />
It also deeply annoys me that the Kossacks have taken a stupid joke about getting the Freepers and other right-wingers to vote en masse for Cameron as if it was a serious expression of Cameron's true fan base. That's ridiculous. I honestly have no idea where Cameron fits on the political scale, because he zealously avoids even passing mention of it -- and he's deleted comments of mine at USSM that inappropriately brought it up. He was right to do so.<br />
<br />
Cameron is actually advancing the state of the art at USSM, and making advanced ideas of analyzing baseball comprehensible to many, many people. He's made something like six thousand posts there, and with few exceptions they've been brilliant.<br />
<br />
So, yeah: vote Cameron.

      <![CDATA[and tell your friends to vote too, please!! USSM is an invaluable baseball resource for the intelligent, discerning fan. read the comments to any of Dave's 3,500+ posts over the last few years and you'll find smart, on-topic, robust dialogue among fans and authors. it's not your typical TEH YANKEES SUKC!!!!1!!1! baseball blog... and really, it's not even close. I'm a reader of both Kos and USSM... and there's no comparison. Kos, quality-wise, just can't compete with what USSM is about (regardless of content).
