Yes! YES!!! The Range’s preferred design for the state quarter, No. 2, is the overwhelming favorite of Arizonans who voted in a survey by State Treasurer Dean Martin. We’ve yet to learn which design came out ahead on Gov. Janet Napolitano’s survey, but we’re thrilled that Range readers appear to have risen as one to support quarter No. 2, which got half of the all votes cast for the five designs.
As you might recall, some of our junior staff–cough, Saxon, Kelli, cough, cough–suggested other designs. They’re clearly out of touch with the majority of people in the state. Design No. 1 got the vote of only 13 percent of those surveyed. (In your face, Burns!) Once again, we see who is the master and who are the students …
Tomorrow, Napolitano will unveil her pick.

I’m gonna pretend that Arizonans, led by the misguided Jim Nintzel, didn’t just make the biggest mistake of their lives, even though it’s quite obvious that they did.
P.S. You are the pied piper of state-quarter designs.
What’s horrifying to me, is that so many poor, unfortunate souls are following the guidance of a man who bases his life off of Battlestar Gallactica. I applaud those state quarter design voters out there who demonstrated a smidgin of sanity and strayed away from the warped sermon of Nintzel, the pied piper of state-quarter designs.
You people are so cute. I wish I could squeeze your cheeks.
