With my vote, Hobart went to 6.3 and into a 3-way tie for 3rd! Rock the vote! :ymdevil:

I've gone in this morning and given Hobart (who was in 3rd place) a 10 and everyone else around him a 1.

Stoopid rules.
I was browsing the rules to find out when the contest ends. Here's one stoopid rule.
“Ratings” in the online contest will be taken into consideration but the final decision is made by the magazine staff.
Here is stoopid rule #2 (i-V)
DISQUALIFICATION AND PENALTIES: All participants agree to be bound by these rules. Atlanta magazine, in its sole discretion, further reserves the right to disqualify any person for (i) violating any of these rules, (ii) tampering with the entry process, (iii) gaining an unfair advantage in participating in the contest, (iv) obtaining winner status using fraudulent means, or (v) engaging in otherwise unsportsmanlike, disruptive, or threatening behavior.
They don't specfiy what an unfair advantage is, and they don't define what is "unsportsmanlike". Is giving the pet in first place a one "unsportsmanlike"? They don't define anything. But it's rule # 1 that I don't like. Even if Hobart makes it (and I'm thinking due to us he will), the "staff" can give Hobart the shaft. Stooopid.

Since I'm a mod of sorts, I'm not touching this. But I have thought to myself several things that are offensively funny.
HA! Just thought of another one.
Hobart's taking you down, dawg.

By the way, once Hobart wins, will you be submitting Walter? He's a good-lookin' fella as well. :D
