Disclaimer: I don’t necessarily endorse the political opinions of all of these bloggers. In fact, I disagree with the views of a few, but I voted for them as “Best Blog” in their respective categories based on the work I’ve seen.
These are my blog endorsements. You’ll notice that I’ve skipped several categories because I voted for blogs only in categories I read. Here are my picks:
Best Overall Blog: Power Line — Not only did these three guys with day jobs perform splendidly during Rathergate, offering up-to-the-minute information, they answered their e-mail. Classy. As far as I’m concerned, Power Line is the best in the blogosphere.
Best New Blog (Est. 2004): INDC Journal — Another guy with a day job who did some of his own independent investigating during Rathergate, tracking down sources and doing interviews.
Best Group Blog: Blogs for Bush — My go-to blog during the election season.
Best Humor Blog: It was a tough call, but I chose Scrappleface, whose “press releases” always make me laugh. Editor Scott Ott offers clean, profanity-free humor. And he’s a Christian.
Best Liberal Blog: Every now and then I visit Talking Points Memo, but it didn’t make the list. I don’t usually read other liberal blogs, so in order to vote in this category I had to check out the nominees. I endorse Matthew Yglesias because he argues his points well and doesn’t seem to engage in partisan bickering. (The others don’t necessarily bicker. I just prefer Yglesias’s style.)
Best Conservative Blog: If I weren’t voting for myself 
, Captain Ed would be my choice.
Best Election Coverage: This was a tough choice between Power Line and Blogs for Bush, but I selected B4B.
Best Media/Journalist Blog: This was no contest. Michelle Malkin all the way.
Best Blog Design: I picked my fabulous blog designer’s blog, Just a Girl.
Best of the Top 100 Blogs: Evangelical Outpost — Excellent Christian-themed essays.
Best of the Top 100-250 Blogs: Patterico’s Pontifications, which should be higher up in the ecosystem, did some great independent investigating during Rathergate. Several months ago, I chose this blog to participate in a project. I will reveal what that project was very soon.
Best of the Top 250-500 Blogs: I’m sure my blog friends in the category will forgive me, but I chose JustOneMinute, also a project participant.
Best of the Top 500-1000 Blogs: Oh, That Liberal Media is a great ensemble cast and excellent source for analysis of the latest media bias.
Best of the Top 1000 – 1750 Blogs: Legal XXX
Best of the Top 1750-2500: Shape of Days, also a project participant, should be much higher in the ecosystem. Bloggers, link to this blog!
Best of the Top 2500 – 3500 Blogs: I surprised myself by picking a moderate, The Moderate Voice.
Best of the Top 3500-5000: I picked my blog friend’s blog, The Boileryard.
Best of the Top 5000 – 6750 Blogs: Digital Brown-Pajamas, of course.
Best of the Top 6750+: Daily Inklings
