Monopoly

Hi all:

Tired of the Primaries? Well, vote in an election where you can make a difference!

Monopoly is creating the first-ever WORLD edition of the game, with a game board featuring the greatest cities in the world. What are those cities? YOU DECIDE!

From now until Feb. 28, you can vote for 10 cities once a day at www.monopoly.com. You'll need to create an identity based on your email address the first time you vote, but then it's very simple.

There's a ballot of 68 candidates, with the top 20 making the board. (The final two spots are reserved for "Wild Cards").

New York City -- the greatest city in the world -- is faring well, but just slipped to yellow. Don't you think it should be a blue? Help get us back up there? Surprisingly, the actual number of votes dividing the leaders isn't huge, so every vote counts.

And while I love all the world cities, I think the U.S. should have AT LEAST two on the board. Vegas is the next likely to get back up on the board, so, please consider voting for them.

One other note: if you vote for cities ahead of NYC based on the leader board, you don't really give a 'push' to NYC, so you may want to omit voting for them, even if you love London. Otherwise, NYC doesn't move in the rankings.

Here's wishing eternal Free Parking to all who vote early and often (daily!).

Mark

I love Monopoly and at one point I even collected different versions...until they just started to make too many. I'll for sure have to vote! Thanks for the info!
