2003 Koufax nominations: Best Blog
Unlike other awards which seek to manipulate it's audience by building up to the "Bestest of the Best" title, we're going to cut to the chase and start at the top. Once again, the purpose here is to trim the field to seven to ten finalists, but as someone out there deemed each of these to be their favorite, each is worthy of a visit by Lefty readers.
The category seeks to recognize the best overall work across the entire year, in writing, focus, relevance, accessibility, etc. In other word, who do you consider indispensable?
The nominees this year are:
VastLeft @ Corente offers you a tee that fails to be bipartisan and alarms the Villagers ...
Comments
Indispensable for me personally:
- Alas
- Body & Soul
- Calpundit
- Dohiyi Mir
- Eschaton
- Left I on the News
- Rittenhouse Review
- Ruminate This
- Steve Gilliard
- Suburban Guerrilla
- WTF Is It Now?
- Whiskey Bar
At least 10 others you list are on my regular blogroll, though. I don't envy y'all narrowing that one down!
Posted by: Elayne Riggs | January 4, 2004 01:20 PM
The great eight, IMHO:
Eschaton
Talking Points Memo
Daily Kos
CalPundit
Whiskey Bar
Counterspin
Talk Left
Liberal Oasis

Subjectively indispensable to me (in no particular order): Calpundit, Daily Kos, Dohiyi Mir, Eschaton, Orcinus, Steve Gilliard, Talking Points Memo, Talk Left.

My list:
Alas A Blog
Brad DeLong
CalPundit
Eschaton
Matt Yglesias
Nathan Newman
Orcinus
Talk Left
Though many of the others are great as well. These are just a little bit better.
Posted by: Kristjan Wager | January 4, 2004 02:33 PM
Daily Kos - Has become more than a blog, a movement.
Whiskey Bar - Indispensable chronicler of the ever-changing storyline.
Nathan Newman - Best labor issue posts.
Orcinus - Where would we be without Rush, Newspeak, and Fascism? Should definitely get a best series nod for that.
That's as far down as I could narrow it, being very harsh with myself. I don't envy you guys having to pick just one.
Posted by: natasha | January 4, 2004 02:54 PM
Boy, this is tough. So I'll do it strictly by arbitrary or "desert island" standards.
First, I'll eliminate TAPPED, Matt and Alterman, 'cause they all get paid. It should be amateur-only in the blogging Olympics.
Then I'd take out Talking Points Memo because Josh compromised his amateur status via "The Hill" and the Washington Monthly.
Brad DeLong and Nathan Newman are wonderful but too narrowly focused.
There are many people I really like but for whatever reason, don't read very often. After I subtract them, here's who I'd need on my desert island:
Atrios/Eschaton/Sid Blumenthal
Rittenhouse Review/the "other" J.C.
TBOGG
Hullabaloo/Digby
Roger Ailes
Whiskey Bar/Billmon
CalPundit/Kevin Drum
Dohiyi Mir/NTodd
Liberal Oasis
I'm already there, of course. It's my island.

I don't envy you this job of not only organizing the nominations but counting the votes. Maybe take the top five from each list and give them 5-4-3-2-1 points? Oh well, here are my favorites, in order:
Atrios
Daily Howler
Steve Gilliard
Talking Points Memo
Atrios (again) because he's probably updated since I checked the other three.

My picks (I agree they should be "amateurs") in order:
Eschaton
Roger Ailes
Whiskey Bar
Dohiyi Mir
These are my "must read at least twice daily" picks.
I don't envy you guys this task.
Posted by: Charles2 | January 5, 2004 03:15 PM
Whiskey Bar
Body and Soul
CalPundit
Eschaton
Daily Kos
The Road to Surfdom
Slacktivist
Talk Left
Like other commenters, I think the Koufax is most appropriate for non-pros. Otherwise I'd include Talking Points Memo. If forced to prune the list above to 7, I'd drop Talk Left; not top-tier on general blog topics, but unmatched for civil liberties and related issues.
Posted by: Nell Lancaster | January 5, 2004 03:33 PM

I just started cruising the blogosphere recently so some of these I looked at the first time today, but the two I already check daily are:
Atrios

And having taken a moment to peruse the rest, I'm putting Counterspin on the daily read list as well.
I also really liked How to Save the World and Slacktivist .

The only ones on the list that are critical reads for me are, in alphabetical order:
Bartcop
Dohiyi Mir
Eschaton
Orcinus
Posted by: tinheart | January 5, 2004 06:44 PM
in my own little world, the best blogs are the ones by people who i count as my friends, who in the larger scheme of things might not blog with great historical or social significance, and who might not even shine particularly as writers, but who simply manage to bring color and texture to my life, commiserate with me regarding my various follies, and in general provide a community in which i can feel slightly more sane and slightly less alone.
on a more gross, popularity contest sort of level, among the "political/social" themed blogs, my top three would have to be jeanne d'arc, emma goldman, and atrios; the first for poetry, the second for reason, and the third for pure old fashioned muckraking. i think the comments area at atrios' eschaton is one of the liveliest areas of conversation on the entire internet. when some kind of disaster strikes - the US invades yet another country, a giant meteorite strikes the earth, etc. - atrios is my first destination, not to find out the facts, but to find out what the talk around the water cooler is.

My first choice on your list is Dohiyi Mir, followed at some distance by Eschaton.
My write-in vote would be for a weblog that no one has mentioned yet, but is the best-written and best-focused and ultimately most cogent that I have seen, Baghdad Burning.
I also read Bartcop regularly but find his view of Democrats to be deeply flawed.
Posted by: Sofarsogoo | January 5, 2004 11:35 PM
I am humbled and honoured to be included on this list of illustrious bloggers, especially as a Canadian, and as a new blogger who blogs more about environmental issues and business than about politics on my schizophrenic blog, How to Save the World. Having said that, my politics is unequivocably liberal. I read most of the other nominees, and especially like:
Alas
Dohiyi Mir
Eschaton
Talk Left
Whiskey Bar
Had I discovered your site in time, I would have nominated Pacific Views for best blog, World O' Crap and Monster Limo for funniest blog, and Different Strings for a new category, investigative reporting. Fellow liberals all. I've made a note for next year, and thank you again for the nomination.

I acnnot live without four blogs, for the stated reasons:
* Kos. The sports pages of politics. Agreed that Kos has transcended mere blogness and moved into movement status.
* Talking Points Memo. Nobody knows the opposition better than Josh Marshall. Plus, he is the place to go to know what stories you are going to care about a month from now.
* Atrios/Eschaton. Could he possibly be just one person? Preznit no giv Atrios turkee.
Countless blogs deserve credit (Juan Cole, Billmon/Whiskey Bar, Tbogg, Raed and Riverbend round out my personal blogroll), but those are my three finalists.

The Road to Surfdom
Sanctuary (Gianna)

For me, it's something like
Orcinus
DailyKos
TPM
Eschaton
Electrolite
Whiskey Bar
The Poor Man
Smirking Chimp (not really a blog, I know)
World o' Crap
How to Change the World
But I only check the first four religiously and catch up with the others (and 20 more besides) from time to time.

The blogs I find indispensable:
Eschaton
Talking Points Memo
Daily Kos

I agree with those who suggest TPM ought to be removed, since Marshall is a pro (he should be included in "Best Expert Blog" for journalism, though, IMO). But it was also the one blog I read before I got drawn into blogging myself, so I have to mention it here.

I'm going to make this (slightly) easier on myself by leaving out people I've voted for in other categories, so
Body and Soul, Eschaton and The Rittenhouse Review are, I think, our institutions, insofar as we have any
Hullabaloo, The Road to Surfdom, Roger Ailes, Ruminate This, Slacktivist, Suburban Guerrilla and Whiskey Bar always get me charged up (although someone needs to go take over Hullabaloo so digby will be a commenter again and we'll occasionally hear from him, young man)

what, and no Chicken Soup for the Vegan Soul? For no one else has dared to ask the question - What would the world do without Burnt Sienna? I mean honestly. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Just imagine an episode of "Wheel of Fortune" where no one bought a vowel. Imagine an episode of Jeopardy with no "Daily Double." If you have not been to Chicken Soup For the Vegan Soul, your life is a vacuous wasteland similar to these grim scenarios. Don't hold your breath. Get there today. Henry Kissinger and Barbra Streisand are watching you.
