David Archuleta is in 9th place in the comedy category.
Yeah, to be in the top 10 in humor right now, an FOT approved candidate would only need 146 votes. If you decide to do this, which would be great, it says "I nominate...for a Shorty Award in (category)" but that's really voting. Then it tweets it, so go on over there and vote!
Right now, Ted Leo is 17th in the music category, which is great and he's got 89 votes. I think 89 people would volunteer to give him their subway seat, let alone take 2 seconds to vote for him.
