perhaps redstate is still down?  See for yourself.

I really don't have to much more to add to this because I am in a hurry to go to work.  I do know that the name is locked and could not be re-registered by anyone else at the time I tried.  

Since this is frontpaged over at Redstate:

Looking over the Weblogs Award voting for Best Group Blog, I couldn't help but notice that as of 2:50 PM Eastern the results look like this:

1. __Hit and Run 4005
   
2. __Redstate.org 3379
   
3. Think Progress 3209
   
4. ___TPMCafe 3073
   

Remeber that you can vote once every 24 hours, here.

We only need about 600-700 to catch Hit and Run. I know we have that many readers. If you think we're The Best Group Blog of the year, we could use your support.

I was thinking that we could lend our support and make sure that Redstate does not overtake Hit and Run.  If, at the same time, we could give Think Progress that extra little push it needs to overtake Redstate, that would be even better.

Here are the results as of 17:23 EST

1. Hit and Run: 4143
   
2. Redstate: 3632
   
3. Think Progress: 3400

Please vote here.
UPDATE: As of 20:55 EST the results are:

1. Hit and Run: 4391
   
2. Redstate: 3825
   
3. Think Progress: 3643
