    Thanks for the update on Fertik's question. The last I'd heard it was at the top, and Digby's site and Open Left were continuing to push it. It very much looked to me like it was going to come in at number 1, but folks were speculating about how the votes got "counted."

    I can only imagine what Plumb Bob thinks of the question:

    Will you appoint a Special Prosecutor — ideally Patrick Fitzgerald — to independently investigate the gravest crimes of the Bush Administration, including torture and warrantless wiretapping?

    Dollars to donuts Obama sidesteps it.
