Noquarterusa.net: The Contest

The response to “Hillary versus Obama: The Book” was so outstanding that it seems a contest to pick the best title for such a tome is in order. It will be sponsored by Willnotmoveon.org (whose battle cry is “Ho! Ho! Ho!”) and its rules will be about as arcane as those that govern the balloting for Major League Baseball’s All-Star teams and/or the Iowa Democratic caucuses.

Listed below is the arbitrarily chosen field of titles from which noquarterusa.net readers will help us select our “Elite Eight” by naming the four titles that they like best. Readers may vote (as they can for the All-star teams–and, come to think of it, in the Iowa caucuses) as many times as they like. A winner will be selected from this smaller list. The author of the best title will win a free, lifetime subscription to noquarterusa.net and immediate induction into Willnotmoveon.org’s Hall of Fame.

And the titles from which you may choose ARE:

Hillary Shrugged

Hillary’s Complaint

Obama and the Art of Media Manipulation

The Obamabots’ Guide to the Galaxy

The Wright Stuff

The Legend of Deeply Hollow

No Country for Old Women

Invasion of the Caucus Snatchers

The ones if the book focuses on BO:
The Legend of Deeply Hollow

Barack the Obscure

and this should be:

a chapter in the book

(hey, why not use some of the runners-up for chapter titles?)
