I sent the link along to Team 1200 in Ottawa - I'll try a few different angles to get an on-air mention.

HPL posted:Poor Rory. He'd be so if he knew why we started this whole thing in the first place. It's like a sarcastic version of Rudy..what's not to like?

SubCrid TC posted:It seems that you're a mastermind now! The National Post also carried the story today, so I bet it was in every CanWest newspaper. Hopefully this media attention doesn't make people lazy about voting. I'm going to go kick in another 100 votes for Rory

Do you need to see Mark Messier's ugly mug in order for your vote to count? Sometimes I see him and sometimes I don't, however when I see Messier the confirm page takes a little bit longer to load.

CanWest newspapers have embraced the Rory campaign from the beginning and the NHL isn't hating: http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=ab0f711a-7053-4eef-910c-a6acb907828f League likes Rory for 'fun' factor 'Let's not make it into something catastrophic,' says spokesman quote:Much like Sylvester Stallone has done with Rocky, Rory Fitzpatrick campaigners have taken a charming story and launched it into the realm of the ridiculous -- and the NHL couldn't be happier.

Could he be a US Senator? Hillary looks like she's running for the big job, which could open up a slot for Senator Fitzpatrick.

I think the most damning stat is the ratio of published votes for Western D vs. Forwards and Goalies. Up until Dec 18th it was what you would expect 2.01914 D per Goalie 1.47036 Forwards per D I don't have the individual weekly stats, but I bet those ratios stayed pretty flat through the first few weeks of voting. Then all of a sudden in the last week the ratios go to 1.671777 D per Goalie 1.765884 Forwards per D There were only ~331,406 votes cast in the last week (based on goalie votes) We also know you can only vote in one Western write-in candidate per vote. So you know 129,620 of those votes had one of Rory, Michalek or Toskala on them. So of the ~200k other votes, half voted for a write-in defensemen other than Rory?
