Okay, you know the drill by now.  I need your top three clearly labeled first, second, and third so that I can assign the correct point values (i.e. 1st=4 points, 2nd=3 points, 3rd=2 points).  You need to have your votes posted by the end of the day on Monday, January 19th and I will post the results on Tuesday morning.  I’m still dithering between THE CROSSOVER and THE PORT CHICAGO 50 for my third place vote, but I’ll decide and post them soonish.  That gives you six days to discuss, think, and vote.  I’m pasting in the Top Seven nominations below so you can see which titles ostensibly have the most support on our mock Supercommittee.
