Stuffing the ballot box for Skype

There are only days left to vote. (Only until March 31.) Pressure is mounting. And “our guy” needs your help.
We’re not talking the Pennsylvania primary or Obama or Hillary or McCain. We’re talking CNET’s 2008 Webware 100 Awards on Web 2.0 products.
Skype did well in the voting last year.
And Skype has been doing more than kissing babies since then, launching High Quality Video, the 3 Skypephone, and appearing in the new Sony Mylo and the Sony PSP Slim & Lite.
This year, Skype is a finalist again.
More than 1.7 million people already have voted. So what’s holding you back, Skype fans?
Voting in the Webware 100 is simple. It's easier than those famed dead men voting in a Chicago primary. No hanging chads like in the Florida primary. More valid than the Michigan Democratic primary. Your Webware votes will count.
Head over to the Webware balloting site and check off Skype.
Voting closes at noon Pacific time March 31. Winners will be announced April 21. That's the the day before the vote in the Pennsylvania primary and the opening of the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco.
So vote already.
(As they say in the political TV ads: This campaign announcement has been approved by your U.S. Skype blogger.)
