The Road To St. Paul

After the close of voting in the West Regional today, two contestants got a step closer to the ultimate goal of claiming the title of best regular guest on the Hugh Hewitt show, while two other contestants were sent packing. John McIntrye of Real Clear Politics fame, held off Beltway Boy Morton Kondracke by a fairly comfortable margin. Meanwhile, a late surge by Tarzana Joe helped the big-hearted bard break open a close contest with David Dreier and emerge victorious.

Voting in the Midwest Regional will take place on Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday the eight quarterfinalists will face off to see who earns a spot in the Quipable Quad (legal considerations led us to that name).
