The voting was open to anyone, and nobody could vote more than once. But by the end of the first week, a growing flood of adult votes for computer engineer Barbie trumped the popular choice. Female computer engineers who learned about the election launched a viral campaign on the Internet to get out the vote and ensure Barbie would join their ranks.
"Please help us in getting Barbie to get her Geek on!" came the appeal from the blog GeekGirlCamp.com.
This beat out the young girl vote that wanted an anchorwoman Barbie. All I know is the more women in the hard sciences and in computers the better things are. It is kind of cool that the two tech people on NCIS and Criminal Minds are both woman as well. Now they have Barbie as part of that group. I wonder if her Dream Car has a War-Driver setup in it?
