Well which is it to be?
After the new King of the Blogshas been appointed and it isnt me what should I say?

The new King,
eTALKINGHEAD has been so gracious: "To the contenders--or should I say 'pretenders,' as Dr. Adrian Warnock used so freely during these last two weeks: Thanks for giving me a run for my money. Both of your blogs are excellent, and I can see why Hugh Hewitt gave you two the time of day before he even checked me out. Best of luck."

How can I be anything but gracious back. Thanks for the fun everyone and thanks for the new readers and the new links this contest has produced. Congratulations Mr electronic communicating round thing!

My other opponent the evangelical outpost has tried the ranting approach and realised after a while he was 'acting like a Democrat'

What of the judges? Well the King of Fools thanked me for blogrolling him (he has yet to return the complement mind you!)

and angelweave described this as 'Another solid blog, but almost too personal'

and Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon described all the contestants as 'fine writers also with interesting, thought provoking, well presented viewpoints.'

and Rick's Cafe Americain
just said I was 'weak'

and Wizbang said I had lots of short posts.

What more can I say except it was good whilst it lasted!

Only one plea from me to Nick who runs the show, now you have a previous judges list, how about a previous contestants list on the page? I know it will get long in the end, but it would be some kind of consolation prize for the end of my campaign to be King!
