A few days ago I called for feedback on how many members the Liberal Coalition should be required to have before being allowed to compete in the New Weblog Showcase sponsorship contest --- I tossed out 15 as a starting point, and 20 was quickly arrived at as a consensus number.

Well, the Coalition has just added its twentieth member, and so it seems official: they are now eligible for the Showcase sponsorship contest. I see no reason not to allow them to compete in tonight's count, so if they continue their present lead, they'll have their logo at the top of the Showcase next week.

Congratulations to the Coalition on its swift growth, and good luck to all in tonight's contest!
