I am interested in the job, and I have moderated at numerous other boards. I only fear that the poll will turn into a popularity contest, and those most known (i.e. most posts) will get the modship yet just because they know poker, they might not be right for the job. But, hey, I'll get a chance too so I guess I shouldn't complain.
Edit: And while I am not going to point any fingers, jackass has a point in that perhaps those biased shouldn't be eligible, but unless there is some way to accurately judge how biased/opinionate one is, the vote is probably the best way to go.
