There is always a first. When does this contest end anyways?

The only chance we have of winning is if somebody comes up with a "working" script that we can run that votes every 6 minutes. I've voted at least 40 times for Lucy

It doesn't end until next sunday (The 25th).

And the macro program I posted about works reliably to vote every 5 minutes.. not positive that the site counts them all though. I set it up slightly differently last night. Just created a shortcut to "http://www.crackerjack.com/bigdog.php" on my desktop .. so the macro just double clicks it.. clicks the vote for lucy.. and closes the window.

I got worried that maybe it was keeping session open or something by leaving the website open. Of course, I've not actually sat there and watched it to see how often the vote works..

Yeah, that app seems to be working, and counting the vote every 5 minutes.

Make sure it click the "x" and not the close window tag, because sometimes the window comes up 404,and then it wouldn't vote correctly until I caught that.

It is going through the roof, but apparently the other dog has a similar effect.. just not quite as strong at the moment... but it has been stronger in the last couple days.. so we have some ground to make up..

No room for slack.. :(

Oh, and the lead is down to 230 !!!!

I hope he doesn't! We've got a lot more people voting now.. my wife has been going all over the place around town putting up flyers and telling people.. and getting people to run the macro :)

As long as we can get everyone to keep voting, we are in good shape, I think.

*crosses fingers and keeps voting*
