We have eight finalists for Best Expert blog. Their expertise is in a variety of areas including law, economics, journalism, science, domestic terrorism, workplace issues, and the Middle East. While it is hard to compare across different areas, we must do so to determine a winner. Please vote once for one of the below:
ACSBlog (Law)
Confined Space (Workplace Health and Safety)
Brad DeLong (Economics)
Informed Comment (Middle East)
Media Matters (Journalism)
Orcinus (Journalism and Domestic Terrorism)

Talk Left (Law)
The bad news is that it is very hard to choose among that group. The good news is that they are all deserving candidates.

Nyarrrgh! Too hard! Juan Cole, Brad, Delong and Media Matters have been daily reading for me for a while now.
However, I have to throw my vote to Orcinus. I only discovered him a few weeks ago, and I'm still reading through his work. Really quite excellent.
As are the others.

TalkLeft. Jeralyn is fantastic, and watching her lone back-up blogger, TChris, go from relative obscurity to arguing — and winning — a landmark decision before the Supreme Court was truly fascinating.
