need a favor for my oldest daughter

I know I can count on fellow Porsche owners for help!

I need a Big Favor... my adult daughter (Kimberly) is in a competition "The Biggest Local Loser" to lose 78 pounds and needs votes as encouragement over the next 6 weeks!

Please login into:


http://www.wptv.com and click on "The biggest local losser"

and place your vote for her! You can vote daily! This really means a great deal to her in many ways. She was petite in high school and gained it all after she gave birth... post partum issues, etc. Plus, she and her husband can win $50 for every pound she loses (she's lost 14 in 1o days) if she has the highest votes and passes the medicial follow-ups. This would mean a great deal to them financially as well as emotionally!

Thank you all in advance... please bump this link to the top daily!

I had to use the 2nd link; they generate the pages dynamically, so posting deep links is futile. It also makes it a little harder to write a perl script to stuff the ballot box.

Sorry, I voted for Bob because;

"Bob describes himself as a “regular guy” with a wife and kids, who likes to watch sports..."


(Kidding!)

Looks like Pelicans may be making a show of force. Kimberly has almost twice the votes as her closest competitor. (347 to 188)

Go Kimberly!!!!!

377 votes, 53.9% never under estimate the power of PELICAN! Although I'm sure votes came from other sources

Poor Lynda Marie ... only 2 votes

Is your daughter sure she wants the title "biggest local loser"?

I wonder if btsave placed a bet that kim would win and he is using us to secure it? Got any proof that your daughter?

Sorry I'm cynical. Good luck to her.
