We’ve had three great front page guest editors for the first half of 2012: thanks very much to Middle of the Road, ProgressiveCowgirl, and Pita for their valued contributions to our blog in the last six months. Colorado Pols is the most read and discussed political blog in our state for over seven years now because of our vibrant community of readers, and our elected front page guest editors exemplify the qualities we respect so much in all of you.

We will hold an election for three new front-page guest editors this weekend, June 23rd and 24th. The new editors will start on July 1st, and barring anything unexpected will hold their positions through the end of 2012–at which time we’ll have another election. We’ll conduct one poll of nominees, and the top three finishers from that poll will win coveted election-year front page editor spots. Our current editors are automatically renominated unless they decline.

Use this thread to nominate candidates for the three guest editor positions available. And remember, there are no limits on campaign spending. We’ll finalize the nominees Friday.

To learn more about the privileges and expectations of our guest editors, read this post, and feel free to ask questions. As always, we will be watching closely to ensure the election is fraud-free, so we remind readers as we do every time to not bother trying to cheat. We’ll catch you, and we’ll delight in humiliating you and everything you stand for.

Happy voting!
