Last night, the March Madness brackets were set and I'm happy to report that my Golden Gophers snuck in at the last minute.

This morning, after reviewing your submissions for March Badness 2010 -- our tournament to decide the most outrageous, ridiculous things conservatives have done in the last year -- narrowed it down to the "seedy sixteen."

So I have one question for you: are you ready for tourney time?

Click here to find out who made the list and to cast your vote for the worst of the worst conservative moment from the last year.

Michele Bachmann returns to defend her title with a couple of her more colorful statements--including suggesting that people "become blood brothers" to defeat health insurance reform--but will one of the Republican newcomers be able to dethrone her?

You decide!

No bracket would be complete without some sort of prize, so one lucky winner who votes in each round will receive: ProgressNow Founder Michael Huttner's book 50 Ways You Can Help Obama Change America and Brave New Films 5th Anniversary 10-DVD Collection. This box set includes Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, Walmart: The High Cost of Low Price, Uncovered: The Truth Behind the War in Iraq, and more.

Only you will be able to decide which Tim Pawlenty entry will win. His complete flip-flop on climate change or his veto of health care of the poor from a political conference in Washington. It's in your hands, so vote now.

Happy Bracketing!
