vote for david a.

Okay, so forget that he's from Utah and that we Utahns (or Utahans, depending on which state of usage you hail from) tend to really rally around our own. And forget that he's really giving the button a run for it's money in terms of cuteness.

Last night was the first night of the Final 24. The boys had the honor (girls tonight), and hands down, David A. was the best performance of the night, regardless of voting precincts or his button-like levels. He's a small fry - 17 years old and five foot nothin' - but blowing the twenty-somethings sharing the stage with him right out of the water. And due to his cuteness (and loyal Utah voting block), I'm predicting that David A. is in it for the long haul.

I'll be honest - my political persuasions are decidedly unpersuaded. Mostly just personal biases at this point (and a hopeful wish that Huckabee would concede - I get it, you've made your point, but come on).

But one thing is sure - David A. has my vote. :)
