Vote for Shane! You’ve only got a few hours left.
How close are things? Quoth MLB's Mark Newman:
This paragraph initially had Victorino leading after the stunning previous 24 hours of campaigning by him and on his behalf, and then while the story was being completed, Sandoval had another surge and moved barely into the lead. It marked the fifth NL lead change already after three days of the four-day Final Vote.
Yes, Shane's got Nutter going door-to-door for votes and Governor Rendell making bets with Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle about which state will deliver more votes for Victorino. But that was before John McCain started using his massive Twitter following to endorse Arizona's Mark Reynolds.
The clock is ticking. And the edge Victorino has over Reynolds and San Francisco's Pablo Sandoval is that we here on the East Coast will be up three hours before their fans will be. The final push begins now.
