Posted by: Miss Antagoniste at January 9, 2005 10:33 PMGotta go with Mouse Words as a part of People's Republic of Austin Non-Agression Pact.
Big honorable mentions to Alicublog, BlondeSense, First Draft, James Wolcott (the oldest new blog of the lot), Just a Bump in the Beltway, Michael Berube, Rising Hegemon, Scamboogah!, Scrutiny Hooligans, Under the Same Sun, and Your Right Hand Thief.

Posted by: Larry R at January 10, 2005 05:15 PMWe vote for Americablog - for the level of awareness and insight that a man like John brings to the endeavour.
As Canadians, we are proud to be part of this North American neighbourhood of progressive minds and energetic activism....and a few individuals who continually lose their way on the electronic superhighway on the way to Freeper and Rush.

Posted by: Brad Breneman at January 10, 2005 05:21 PMAmericablog is the best. Talks like everyday man. Not afraid to call it as he sees it. I read it before the Washington Post. And believe more of what I read on Americablog.
I definitely think AMERICAblog is a cut above the rest. Open comments about the leading issues of the day and open to all opinions. You go, John!
Posted by: Horace C. Kirkman at January 10, 2005 05:28 PMThis blog gives me the 'kindred spirit' feeling, addressing the issues that are important to me.

Posted by: esrose at January 10, 2005 06:56 PMThe Common Ills. When he or she takes the gloves, watch out NPR ombudsman, Daniel Okrent and everyone else. It's also funny as hell when it does a humor post like "Senator Dumb Butt"; "Rudith Miller" and others.
And "Should This Marrige Be Saved" is a must read for anyone still saying "We're going to turn it around in Iraq."
And did I mention Kat and Kat's Korner? That's a regular feature. Say no to the children of Destiny and their proganda ("Soldier").
"Bullies Without Borders" = the adminstration.
"Bully Boy" = Bush.
This is a blog that can go from "Here's what's on Democracy Now! and in The New York Times" to heavy hitting without stripping the gears.
The "Red" states series was a must read.
They took on the New York Times/CBS Poll and revealed all that was flawed about the day it was published. If you paid attention, Adam Nagourney (who co-wrote the coverage of the poll) only backed off from this "values" debate two Sundays ago. If you read The Common Ills that November day, you didn't have to wait for January for the co-author to disown the "values" debate he pushed.
The Common Ills is the best new blog. It makes me laugh, it makes me think.

I would have emailed you this comment, but Wampum is one of the blogs whose main page does not load correctly in my version of Mozilla for some reason. It flashes briefly on the screen and then disappears leaving the headline above a blank screen.

I vote for www.Bradblog.com aka> Brad Friedman who brings many skills to the blog table ... his web site is powerful with wonderful design, features and layout.
He delivers well written, researched, supported and thought provoking articles that inspire and motivate the masses. His "Clint Curtis" series of articles are indicative of his many talents and "perseverance" to finding the truth.
Judging him by the content of his articles ... I would say Brad Friedman is a journalist that "really" supports and believes in Democracy, America and its citizens. A kind, good hearted, honest person that really cares about people.

The Bradblog.
A unique, highly pleasurable trip through some of the brightest minds in cyberspace.
Spirited, factual, relevant articles by the creator, Brad Friedman.
All in all, inspiring, uplifting, and motivating.
The Washington Note: it's reflective & cogent, often includes an international focus missing from other blogs, and is highly expert/insightful/innovative on policy analysis (not surprising given its author).
Also, it likely attracts the most knowlegeable and erudite commenters seen anywhere in the blogosphere...

Posted by: ddjango at January 12, 2005 09:37 AMWhat a surprise to know that the Bradblog is not Professional. It has been my home page for the last couple of months and the best reading on the web. I look forward to following Velvetrevolution.us which he recently started. I hope the vote counters realize that those that listed Brad Blog in two words actually were voting for Bradblog one word.

By far the best blog on the internet. While being the most compelling election fraud bloggist, Brad is witty, smart,informed and does his homework thoroughly. He broke the Clint Curtis story and puts mainstream media to shame. He has motivated me into action and will continue to do so with his VELVET REVOLUTION. He is definitely deserving of this award!

Posted by: SEA at January 12, 2005 08:48 PMBest new blog has GOT to go to Princeton Progressivie Review. Look, they're students, they're the future of the movement, and they deserve mega support from the rest of the progressive community. And they write well. And their ideas are interesting- though I don't always agree with them, they really made me rethink some of my ideas on things like affirmative action and free trade. Tied with them is Steve Clemons' The Washington Note - which is deadly smart.

Posted by: horkus at January 13, 2005 02:02 AMBrad Blog is extremely insightful - factual - and complete. It qualifies its findings with careful follow-through of sources, etc. It doesn't overstate or understate - but rather gets its facts & analysis dead-on.
It's a serious blog meant for serious readers. It's fair and factual and does not stray into gossip or prognostication.
In my mind - Brad Blog is one of the best blogs I've ever encountered. Period!
You know, I'm going to go with the Stakeholder. The House is the only place we really held them off, and I'd like to think it had something to do with the fact that they're paying attention to us.

Posted by: JP at January 13, 2005 11:33 PMBradBlog.com -- If you haven't seen this blog, you are missing a serious reporter who does his work well. The information he has uncovered may lead to something big down the road, if not in the tale of Clint Curtis, than certainly in some other way. His championing of transparent democracy and a laser-like focus on election reform makes him the sort of patriot that politicians claim to be, but wish they were.
If the truth will set you free, than Brad is a freedom fighter in the truest sense -- now carrying that fight to a new level, through development of a spinoff site, VelvetRevolution.us.
BradBlog.com is a model for responsible blogging and the future of Web journalism. Rather than waste your time with endless introspection on the failures of society, he works to fix problems, and seems to be making the kind of difference that most blogs just report about.

Forgive us, as it was cruel, but we could not help ourselves. We itch in your service, Lord. We are sure a Healing from You might not be out of order."
And Jesus spoke, saying, And thy point is? Didst thou think this was to be a fun road trip? Didst thou believe it would be like unto the travels of Bob Harris, full of wonder and reflection and small cute animals? Be not like the fig tree, or the red state voter who thinks only on pancakes at iHop and bouncy-bouncy, or the LORD shall make of you a debris cloud. I'm just sayin'.
And the Disciples asked, "Lord, who is this Bob Harris that we might partake of the wonder and reflection?" And Jesus answered, saying, Hoo Boy, do I hafta talk to you people...
(Animal Acts Against The State, 593:2)
[We believe this is from the 'Fats' Waller Version of the bible}
2) U.S.C., Title IX, Sec. 319, para. 2(a) states: "Under control of the Federal Small Animal Administration (established by the Coal Tar and Hyrax Act of 1952, and The Pudu Cost-Benefit Realignment of 1964), small cute animals, humorous politically-motivated social commentary, and the experiental benefits of foreign travel shall be made available to the People through thus and various avenues of commerce and communicative arts as become manifest within the United States from time to time."

All power to the subungulates!
My vote is for The Washington Note.

Posted by: TSD at February 7, 2005 12:09 PMI nominated Dove's Eye View, and I'll gladly give it my vote. The author has a personal background which not only makes a compelling story but gives her a unique perspective on Middle East events, and she makes a point of seeing and celebrating the humanity on all sides rather than treating them as objects. We need more minds like hers out there.
