Ah – this explains a lot.
In the column to the left you’ll see that we have once again been nominated for a Blogger’s Choice Award. Last year we were voted in the top 20 among political blogs, and hope to at least match that again this year.
If you’d like to help us, here’s what to do:
- Click on that badge (or the badge you see to the right in this post). It will take you to the site.
- If you have an account, click to vote.
- If not, it’s quick and painless to set one up. Then vote.
- You’ll see that we’re also nominated in three other categories. You can click on those links to vote there, as well. We’re especially interested in the “Blogitzer” category, as it honors the best-written blogs. We feel like we have some pretty accomplished writers on the staff, so that would mean a lot to us, as well.
Thanks for your support.
