I'll put in one for AmericaBlog as Best Blog. Their ability to move blogging into concrete action, w/ concrete results, has been truly exemplary.

Best Single-Issue Blog: Orcinus. David's been focusing almost exclusively on right-wing extremism. He's brilliant.

Most Deserving of Wider Recognition: Political Cortex.

Wolcott for best pro blog and Pandagon for best group blog. Have to think of the others a little.

Thank you for nominating me. I'd like to win the category "best writing in a foreign language by a minor goddess".

Okay, more nominations:

Best blog for which I can't find the right category (most interesting? least categorizable?):
Sister Scorpion http://sisterscorpion.blogspot.com --- American Muslim married to Iraqi living in Oklahoma and writing about Muslim issues, Muslim religion and philosphy and interpretation, child rearin', American progressive politics, Middle Eastern cooking (her tabouli is to die for), Tai Chi, poetry and poetry writing (Ms. Scorpion is a poetess), books, photography, life. Surely by tomorrow, I'll think of the right category.

Best pro blog: A tie between Huffington Post and Wolcott

Best series: Armando at Kos on the SCOTUS --- I actually get it, thanks to his work

Best Local Blog:

In case you missed it above, a description of Sister Scorpion's blog: American Muslim married to Iraqi living in Oklahoma and writing about Muslim issues, Muslim religion and philosphy and interpretation, child rearin', American progressive politics, Middle Eastern cooking (her tabouli is to die for), Tai Chi, poetry and poetry writing (Ms. Scorpion is a poetess), books, photography, life in Oklahoma.
