By Corey Thompson, filed in Announcements, Corey Thompson, Presidential Rankings on Jan.24, 2009
***(Editor’s Note: In conjunction with the Inauguration of America’s 44th President, “The Thirsty Quill” is publishing a series entitled “Ranking The Presidents.” There is no ‘exact science’ to these rankings other than personal opinion based on such factors as policy, performance, popularity, perseverance, integrity, and legacy.)***
***The Top-15 Presidents Contest***
We are pleased to announce that beginning on Tuesday January 27th, “The Thirsty Quill” will unveil the ‘Top-15′ of our popular series “Ranking The Presidents!” The ‘Final 15′ will be released over a span of 5-6 days.
To make things more interesting, “The Thirsty Quill” is holding its first ever contest!
Using the list of remaining Presidents below, submit your picks as to where you believe they will be ranked #’s 15-1. The rankings have already been completed, and they will not change (to ensure a legit contest). Only “THE THIRSTY QUILL” (Corey Thompson) knows the final list, so the contest is open to everyone…even to regular writers/contributors to our site!
Just post your predictions as a comment below. The person whose list is closest to the actual final ranking will be crowned our winner, and will receive a copy of William J. Bennett’s new book, The American Patriot’s Almanac.
DEADLINE FOR ENTRY: 11:00 PM EST on Monday, January 26th! (The comment “clock” is different for everyone, so ‘The Quill’ will be on the site at 11:00 PM EST to note what entries have been submitted).
