‘Brilliant’ Endorsement of The BRAD BLOG for the 2008 Weblog Awards!

And don't forget to vote for us! Again and again through Jan 12th!

While these things are usually decided by numbers of readers for any particular website — and as we noted when originally nominated as a Finalist for the 2008 Weblog Awards, that would likely be as far as we’d go, given the huge readership of many of our fellow (excellent) nominees — we’re happy to remind you that you can vote for us anyway.

And you can even do it once every 24 hours! So do it! And do it again! (Yes, in this election, stuffing the ballot box is perfectly legal!)

Who knows, but a good turnout may put a few important BRAD BLOG stories, such as those on election integrity issues found nowhere else, in front of that many more eyeballs.

With all of that said, we’re delighted and grateful to Jill C., of the always-sharp Brilliant at Breakfast (Disclosure: Jill has guest blogged here a bit of late) for her endorsement of The BRAD BLOG in a category with a particularly impressive club of fellow nominees. Here’s her kind endorsement…

The Best Liberal Blog category is crowded with many excellent choices, and a few “WTF?” choices (Wonkette, Taylor Marsh). It’s hard to vote against blogs like Hullabaloo and Talking Points Memo, especially since they are both invaluable resources for me. There are other choices, like Glenn Greenwald’s Unclaimed Territory and Dave Neiwert’s Orcinus that are THE places to go for commentary on Constitutional law and civil rights issues, respectively. But since just about everything that these guys write about comes down to who’s in office at any given time, I have to go with Brad Friedman’s Bradblog on this one, because no one covers the pathetic state of our electoral apparatus better.

Thanks, Jill! And be sure to read her full item for other endorsements, and marvel at her ability to keep up with so many blogs! Yes, we’re jealous of that!

    The ones that are doing poorly are actually the sites I like the most, but of course in most cases they aren’t really ‘liberal’ blogs. Anyway I voted, because I think even making the list will increase visiblity to this site and its coverage of election integrity issues.

    I’ve never even heard of Wonkette, it seemed a bit batty when I just visited it.

    Aw, shucks, ’twas nuttin’. 🙂 Alas, I only wish I could keep up with more. Of course that would mean I had no job, which would suck.
