Preliminary Showcase results are:

For contestants:

Madfish Willie's Cyber Saloon leads with 24 votes for the post Hangover - Part I

For Alliances:

Blogger Alliance: 23 of 83 = 27.7 % participation
Axis of Naughty: 4 of 24 = 16.7 % participation

As is now becoming custom, I'll take feedback on any perceived voting anomolies until 5pm today, at which time the final vote tally will be certified. (Hey: ever notice how much faster I am at certifying my votes than, say, certain large Pacific coast states?)
