Now taking nominees for the 8th Annual Late H. Lee Atwater Award for Right Wing Evil [View all]

In about a week, at Midnight on Halloween, the desiccated corpse of the Late H. Lee Atwater will rise from his clammy grave in South Cakalacka and present the award to the person or persons who have most exemplified the very personage of right wing evil for 2014.

You, my ghosties and goblins, have a key role to play in this, as it will be you who will decide who will be the recipient or recipients of the hallowed title of Most Evil Right Winger.

For the last two years in a row the winners have been that despicable two-headed monster of unmitigated evil, known as The Koch Brothers: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023953376

This year, the winner could be anyone, but it's up to you to decide who that will be. Voting will happen on Devil's Night, Halloween Eve.

So give me your nominees, creepers and creepettes, and at the stroke of Midnight on Halloween, we will come together to summon the late Godfather of Right Wing Evil himself, The Late H. Lee Atwater, to bring the winner into his clammy embrace.

HALLOWEEN IS COMING!
