This category seeks to recognize the best overall writing by a lefty blogger. In some cases, nominations were specific for a particular blogger on a group blog. In other cases, the entire blog, whether a singular or group effort, was nominated. I attempted to follow the intent of the nominator.
Mary Beth Williams, the editor, says that "voting will open soon, hopefully next week. For now, get familiar with the best political writing in the blogosphere."
