In the next week or so, I'll be nagging, begging, pleading with and possibly even threatening people to get them to vote, so I thought I would start with a bribe (and it's not even mine). Ben and Jerry's have promised to give anyone who votes a free scoop of ice cream. The details are here.

I don't live close to any Ben and Jerry's Scoop Shops, so if you live by me, after you vote, come to my house and I'll give you a free scoop of Ben and Jerry's.
