So if I am pro-gun rights, I guess I should vote for Larry Correia?
You wouldn't be the only one. The guy certainly has a passion for his guns and gun porn, which clearly comes across in his books to the delight or annoyance of readers who do or don't like guns.
Seems to me, he made the award a political election, and is the first to do so. Others may have made it a "popularity contest" in terms of an author's personal popularity rather than the book's worth, but he's made it ideological. Which is fine. He wants to be the Republican, I'll vote for one of the Independents. I'll also rank him above Wheel of Time, which is both unentertaining and literarily vapid (the first few books, anyhow. If you haven't grabbed me in the first 2,000 pages, I figure I'm within my rights to be suspicious of the rest), politics or no politics.
